“…The appearance of P300 is thought to reflect the allocation of cognitive resources to a task [18], and it is associated with early detection of attention and memory processing [21]. The current findings are consistent with prior evidence that P300 is reduced in many neuropsychological patients with cognitive difficulties [22,23].…”

“…The amount of resources allocated to the target stimulus is thought to be reflected by P300 amplitude. The stimulus evaluation time which is irrelevant to response selection and execution processes could be measured by P300 latency [18]. Using P300, the effects of magnetic stimulation at acupoints on cognitive resource allocation and the corresponding response time during mental fatigue were analyzed.…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND: Mental fatigue caused by continuous cognitive tasks represents one of the most worrying modern health problems. Event Related Potential (ERP) P300 is thought to be associated with cognitive function. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at characterizing the neural activity correlated with the attentional processes and exploring a novelty method which combine the magnetic stimulation and acupoint to relieve mental fatigue caused by continuous cognitive tasks. METHODS: P300 (P3a and P3b) were extracted at three points: when subjects felt relaxed, at the point of mental fatigue, and after the subjects were stimulated at acupoints. The amplitudes and latencies of P3a and P3b were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Among the four features (P3a amplitude, P3a latency, P3b amplitude, and P3b latency), only P3b amplitude was found to have a significant difference between the resting state and the mental fatigue state. And P3b amplitude significantly increased after magnetic stimulation at the acupoints. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects experiencing mental fatigue demonstrated a significant decrease in P3b amplitude in the parietal region, suggesting attenuation of resource allocation for selective attention. P3b amplitude significantly increased after magnetic stimulation at acupoints indicating that this strategy can be used to improve selective attention and relieve mental fatigue.

“…Both inhibition and psychomotor fluency draw upon a limited pool of cognitive resources (Dywan et al, 1998;Kato et al, 2009;Krishna et al, 2006;Roncadin et al, 2007). As such, their common impairment by Alcohol words suggests that salience may reduce the ability to voluntarily allocate resources to the criterion task (Verbruggen et al, 2004).…”

Stress, cues, and pharmacological priming are linked with relapse to addictive behavior. Increased salience and decreased inhibitory control are thought to mediate the effects of relapse-related stimuli. However, the functional relationship between these two processes is unclear. To address this issue, a modified Stop Signal Task was employed, which used Alcohol, Neutral, and Non-Words as Go stimuli, and lexical decision as the Go response. Subjects were 38 male problem drinkers (mean Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS) score: 18.0). Uncontrollable noise (B10 min at 110 dB) was the stressor; nonalcoholic placebo beer (P-Beer) was the cue manipulation, and alcohol (0.7 g/kg), the pharmacological prime. Half the sample received alcohol, and half P-Beer. Stress and beverage (test drink vs soft drink) were manipulated within subjects on two sessions, with half the sample receiving active manipulations together and half receiving them separately. Go response time (RT) and Stop Signal RT (SSRT) were slower to Alcohol than Neutral words. Stress augmented this bias. Alcohol and P-Beer impaired overall SSRT. Stress impaired neither overall SSRT nor Go RT. SSRT to Neutral words and Non-Words correlated inversely with Go RT to Alcohol and Neutral words, and Non-Words. ADS correlated directly with SSRT to Alcohol words. A resource allocation account was proposed, whereby diversion of limited resources to salient cues effectively yoked otherwise independent Go and Stop processes. Disturbances of prefrontal norepinephrine and dopamine were cited as possibly accounting for these effects. Treatments that optimize prefrontal catecholamine transmission may deter relapse by reducing disinhibitory effects of salient eliciting stimuli.

“…In this paradigm, fatigue is conceptualized as resulting from the continuous exertion of a high level of cognitive effort (DeLuca, 2005a). The arising induced fatigue state is associated with performance impairments and increased subjective feelings of fatigue (Boksem et al, 2006;Kato et al, 2009;Lorist et al, 2005;Lorist, 2008;Van der Linden et al, 2003).…”
