“…It is evident that Group 1’s P300 peak amplitude significantly decreases when experiencing the stress response. This outcome signifies that stress indeed decreases the amplitude of the P300 peak, which affirms the theory that stress decreases P300 amplitude [ 20 ]. However, Group 2 displays a distinct consistency level in ERP and P300 amplitude for the oddball task, which contends stress does not affect the P300 amplitude [ 27 ].…”

“…In order to rationalize both behaviours, we must analyze and identify the potential circumstances in which either behaviour might occur. Kamp et al [ 20 ] identified two factors that may influence the experience of stress and P300 behaviour. Kamp et al [ 20 ] proposed one factor: the stressor’s effectiveness in inducing adequate stress levels.…”

“…However, other studies have found varying effects with stress, either increasing [ 25 , 26 ] or producing no change [ 27 ] in P300 amplitude. Kamp et al [ 20 ] rationalised this contradiction by questioning the effectiveness of eliciting the stress response. Their study ultimately found that P300 amplitude decreases during an Oddball task when stress is induced through the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST).…”

“…The shift between the real world and the laboratory is a dramatic multifactorial change in the paradigm. One commonality observed in the previous studies is the use of stationary means for eliciting the stress response, such as Stroop Tasks [ 27 ], Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) [ 21 ], Socially Evaluated Cold Pressor Task (SECPT) [ 23 ], Mental Arithmetic Task [ 24 , 26 ] and TSST [ 3 , 20 ]. While these methods are effective, they lack real-world factors such as complex visual environments, vestibular stimuli, and proprioceptive feedback.…”

Stress is a prevalent bodily response universally experienced and significantly affects a person’s mental and cognitive state. The P300 response is a commonly observed brain behaviour that provides insight into a person’s cognitive state. Previous works have documented the effects of stress on the P300 behaviour; however, only a few have explored the performance in a mobile and naturalistic experimental setup. Our study examined the effects of stress on the human brain’s P300 behaviour through a height exposure experiment that incorporates complex visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive stimuli. A more complex sensory environment could produce translatable findings toward real-world behaviour and benefit emerging technologies such as brain-computer interfaces. Seventeen participants experienced our experiment that elicited the stress response through physical and virtual height exposure. We found two unique groups within our participants that exhibited contrasting behavioural performance and P300 target reaction response when exposed to stressors (from walking at heights). One group performed worse when exposed to heights and exhibited a significant decrease in parietal P300 peak amplitude and increased beta and gamma power. On the other hand, the group less affected by stress exhibited a change in their N170 peak amplitude and alpha/mu rhythm desynchronisation. The findings of our study suggest that a more individualised approach to assessing a person’s behaviour performance under stress can aid in understanding P300 performance when experiencing stress.

“…More precisely, in a previous study, we found that participants with a blunted P300 showed better performance in the IGT, 19 while another group showed a positive correlation among all ERPs in IGT performance, except for the P300 20 . In addition, the P300 is related to the ability to discriminate relevant stimuli 21 . Thus, a blunted P300 in the IGT translates to less attention being paid to the immediate task reward because it is judged to be irrelevant due to a greater ability to filter distractors, in favour of an efficient long‐term strategy 19 .…”

Online poker gambling (OPG) involves various executive control processes and emotion regulation. In this context, we hypothesized that online poker players, accustomed to handling virtual cards, would show high performance on computerized decision‐making tasks such as the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). Using press advertisements, we recruited a non‐gambler group (NG; n = 20) and an OPG group (n = 22). All participants performed the IGT while their cerebral activity was recorded by electroencephalography. Compared with the OPG group, the NG group showed significantly better progression in the IGT in the last trials. Recording of brain activity revealed the appearance of a temporal map between 150 and 175 ms specific to the gain condition in both groups. A second map was observed at 215–295 ms specifically in the NG group, and the generators were identified in the occipital regions. This activity is indicative of a high level of visual awareness; thus, it reflects additional processing of visual information, which can be assumed to be induced by the lower exposure of the NGs to online card games. We hypothesize that the absence of this activity in the OPG group might be due to their online habituation to virtual environments.

In the recent past, many organizations and people have substituted face-to-face meetings with videoconferences. Among others, tools like Zoom, Teams, and Webex have become the “new normal” of human social interaction in many domains (e.g., business, education). However, this radical adoption and extensive use of videoconferencing tools also has a dark side, referred to as videoconference fatigue (VCF). To date only self-report evidence has shown that VCF is a serious issue. However, based on self-reports alone it is hardly possible to provide a comprehensive understanding of a cognitive phenomenon like VCF. Against this background, we examined VCF also from a neurophysiological perspective. Specifically, we collected and analyzed electroencephalography (continuous and event-related) and electrocardiography (heart rate and heart rate variability) data to investigate whether VCF can also be proven on a neurophysiological level. We conducted a laboratory experiment based on a within-subjects design (N = 35). The study context was a university lecture, which was given in a face-to-face and videoconferencing format. In essence, the neurophysiological data—together with questionnaire data that we also collected—show that 50 min videoconferencing, if compared to a face-to-face condition, results in changes in the human nervous system which, based on existing literature, can undoubtedly be interpreted as fatigue. Thus, individuals and organizations must not ignore the fatigue potential of videoconferencing. A major implication of our study is that videoconferencing should be considered as a possible complement to face-to-face interaction, but not as a substitute.
