“…Several methods were used in neuroimaging studies to determine the coupling direction between neural signals, such as Granger causality analysis (GCA) (Granger, 1969; Im et al, 2010; Jiang et al, 2015), phase transfer entropy (PTE) (Cao, Wang, Liu, & Alexandrakis, 2018; Hillebrand et al, 2016; Lobier, Siebenhühner, Palva, & Palva, 2014; Urquhart, Wang, Liu, Fadel, & Alexandrakis, 2020; Wang et al, 2017), permutation conditional mutual information (Abásolo, Escudero, Hornero, Gómez, & Espino, 2008; Hall & Sarkar, 2011; Li & Ouyang, 2010; Liang, Liang, Wang, Ouyang, & Li, 2015; Wen et al, 2016), and so on. In this study, the GCA method was used, because the GCA is easy to implement, and has been widely used in previous fNIRS studies to estimate the causal relationship between fNIRS time series data, such as cooperation (Cui et al, 2012), teaching (Pan, Novembre, Song, Li, & Hu, 2018), and imitation (Holper, Scholkmann, & Wolf, 2012).…”

This study investigated the gender differences in deception and their neural basis in the perspective of two‐person neuroscience. Both male and female dyads were asked to perform a face‐to‐face spontaneous sender–receiver deception task, while their neural activities in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and right temporal parietal junction (rTPJ) were recorded simultaneously using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)‐based hyperscanning. Male and female dyads displayed similar deception rate, successful deception rate, and eye contact in deception trials. Moreover, eye contact in deception trials was positively correlated with the success rate of deception in both genders. The fNIRS data showed that the interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) in PFC was significantly enhanced only in female dyads when performed the deception task, while INS in rTPJ was increased only in male dyads. Such INS was correlated with the success rate of deception in both dyads. Granger causality analysis showed that no significant directionality between time series of PFC (or rTPJ) in each dyad, which could indicate that sender and receiver played equally important role during deception task. Finally, enhanced INS in PFC in female dyads mediated the contribution of eye contact to the success rate of deception. All findings in this study suggest that differential patterns of INS are recruited when male and female dyads perform the face‐to‐face deception task. To our knowledge, this is the first interbrain evidence for gender difference of successful deception, which could make us a deeper understanding of spontaneous face‐to‐face deception.

“…The results of the frequency-domain analysis showed a significant higher power content in the neurogenic band for the Corrugator and Nose Tip with respect to the muscle ROIs (Exercised and Nonexercised Legs), as shown in Figure 4 . The neurogenic band is associated with nerve activation [ 36 ], hence it may be possible that the higher activity for this band in the facial ROIs could reflect the state of fatigue. This hypothesis was further corroborated by the significant correlation between RPE and the power content of this band for the Nose Tip ( Table 1 ).…”

Infrared thermography (IRT) allows to evaluate the psychophysiological state associated with emotions from facial temperature modulations. As fatigue is a brain-derived emotion, it is possible to hypothesize that facial temperature could provide information regarding the fatigue related to exercise. The aim of this study was to investigate the capability of IRT to assess the central and peripheral physiological effect of fatigue by measuring facial skin and muscle temperature modulations in response to a unilateral knee extension exercise until exhaustion. Rate of perceived exertion (RPE) was recorded at the end of the exercise. Both time- (∆TROI: pre–post exercise temperature variation) and frequency-domain (∆PSD: pre–post exercise power spectral density variation of specific frequency bands) analyses were performed to extract features from regions of interest (ROIs) positioned on the exercised and nonexercised leg, nose tip, and corrugator. The ANOVA-RM revealed a significant difference between ∆TROI (F(1.41,9.81) = 15.14; p = 0.0018), and between ∆PSD of myogenic (F(1.34,9.39) = 15.20; p = 0.0021) and neurogenic bands (F(1.75,12.26) = 9.96; p = 0.0034) of different ROIs. Moreover, significant correlations between thermal features and RPE were found. These findings suggest that IRT could assess both peripheral and central responses to physical exercise. Its applicability in monitoring the psychophysiological responses to exercise should be further explored.

“…The origin of this system is in the center of the chin. Four reference points are obtained at the nasion (Nz), right preauricular points (AR), left preauricular points (AL), and central zero (Cz) [ 71 ]. The positions of the fNIRS sources and detectors were obtained according to the origin and the four reference points.…”

(1) Background: As a world-recognized high-risk occupation, coal mine workers need various cognitive functions to process the surrounding information to cope with a large number of perceived hazards or risks. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the connection between coal mine workers’ neural activity and unsafe behavior from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience. This study explored the functional brain connectivity of coal mine workers who have engaged in unsafe behaviors (EUB) and those who have not (NUB). (2) Methods: Based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), a total of 106 workers from the Hongliulin coal mine of Shaanxi North Mining Group, one of the largest modern coal mines in China, completed the test. Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient (COR) analysis, brain network analysis, and two-sample t-test were used to investigate the difference in brain functional connectivity between the two groups. (3) Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in functional brain connectivity between EUB and NUB among the frontopolar area (p = 0.002325), orbitofrontal area (p = 0.02102), and pars triangularis Broca’s area (p = 0.02888). Small-world properties existed in the brain networks of both groups, and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex had significant differences in clustering coefficient (p = 0.0004), nodal efficiency (p = 0.0384), and nodal local efficiency (p = 0.0004). (4) Conclusions: This study is the first application of fNIRS to the field of coal mine safety. The fNIRS brain functional connectivity analysis is a feasible method to investigate the neuropsychological mechanism of unsafe behavior in coal mine workers in the view of brain science.
