“…As per ERP results, we observe significant differences between the considered groups in time latency (shorter of PRO group) and amplitude (higher for PRO group) of main ERP components (P200, N200, and P300) for game-related experiments-see Table 5. Similar differences in ERP peaks were previously reported with regard to traditional sports athletes (e.g., [8,11,13,44]) and video game players [35] (see more S1 Appendix).…”

“…In addition, there are several studies dedicated to the comparison between video game players and non-players based on EEG signals. The work [ 35 ] considered temporal domain and found the higher amplitude of P100 and P200 ERP components for video game players than non-players. The authors of [ 36 ] revealed the superior coupling between the prefrontal and parietal cortices of video game players based on increased right intrahemispheric prefrontal-parietal correlation in the gamma band.…”

“Faster, higher, stronger” is the motto of any professional athlete. Does that apply to brain dynamics as well? In our paper, we performed a series of EEG experiments on Visually Evoked Potentials and a series of cognitive tests—reaction time and visual search, with professional eSport players in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and novices (control group) in order to find important differences between them. EEG data were studied in a temporal domain by Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and in a frequency domain by Variational Mode Decomposition. The EEG analysis showed that the brain reaction of eSport players is faster (P300 latency is earlier on average by 20-70 ms, p < 0.005) and stronger (P300 peak amplitude is higher on average by 7-9 mkV, p < 0.01). Professional eSport players also exhibit stronger stimulus-locked alpha-band power. Besides, the Spearman correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between hours spend in CS:GO and mean amplitude of P200 and N200 for the professional players. The comparison of cognitive test results showed the superiority of the professional players to the novices in reaction time (faster) and choice reaction time—faster reaction, but similar correctness, while a significant difference in visual search skills was not detected. Thus, significant differences in EEG signals (in spectrograms and ERPs) and cognitive test results (reaction time) were detected between the professional players and the control group. Cognitive tests could be used to separate skilled players from novices, while EEG testing can help to understand the skilled player’s level. The results can contribute to understanding the impact of eSport on a player’s cognitive state and associating eSport with a real sport. Moreover, the presented results can be useful for evaluating eSport team members and making training plans.

“…Based on previous studies, we set the analysis time window for N1 and P2 at 80–140 ms and 170–240 ms, respectively (Irak et al., 2020 ; Lin et al., 2020 ). We adopted the average amplitude method to select the analysis time window of N1 and P2 two EEG components, then selected nine electrode points as F3, FZ, F4, P3, PZ, P4, C3, CZ, and C4 for analysis.…”

Background The current study examined the influence of positive “basic” emotions on executive function; there is limited evidence about the influence of positive “self‐conscious”emotions, such as pride, on executive functions processes. Methods Pride is a status‐related self‐conscious emotion and the present research explored the influence of pride on the subcomponents of executive function, using three experiments that adopted the digit size‐parity switching, N‐back, and dual choice oddball paradigms. Results The behavioral results suggested that cognitive load and behavior inhibition effects in the pride emotion were significantly higher than the neutral emotion. The ERP results showed that the pride emotion elicited smaller P3 difference wave for the switching task and dual choice oddball task. In the N‐back task, the pride emotion elicited larger N1 amplitude and smaller P2 difference wave compared to the neutral emotion. A comparison among results from the three experiments indicated that pride emotion restrains all subcomponents of executive function, though with different manifestations of the impact. Conclusion Experiencing positive emotions is typically viewed as desirable and adaptive in educational settings; however, pride as a unique positive emotion may damage people's cognitive performance, indicating that we need to be cautious when performing cognitive operations in a pride mood.
