“…For example, the Canadian-based company InteraXon has developed portable headbands (Muse TM and Muse 2 TM ) that measure EEG from frontal [at Fpz (reference), AF7 and AF8 according to the International 10–20 System] and temporal (TP9 and TP10) electrodes. This portable system has been used successfully to quantify components of ERPs (N200 and P300) during a standard “oddball” task to assess visual attention (Krigolson et al, 2017). This technology has proven effective for recording EEG from large numbers of users over 9 months of biofeedback training (Hashemi et al, 2016).…”

The elite sports environment provides a unique setting for studying human performance, where both cognitive and physical demands are high. Successful performance in sport is contingent upon key cognitive skills such as attention, perception, working memory and decision-making. The demands of competitive sport also increase loading on the central nervous system (CNS). Neuroimaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG) offer the potential to investigate the cognitive demands of sport, neuroplasticity of athletes, and biofeedback training. However, practical and technical limitations of these methods have generally limited their use to laboratory-based studies of athletes during simulated sporting tasks. This review article, provides a brief overview of research that has applied neuroimaging technology to study various aspects of cognitive function during sports performance in athletes, alternative methods for measuring CNS loading [e.g., direct current (DC) potential], possible solutions and avenues of focus for future neuroergonomics research in sport.

Statistics around the world showed that attention deficit significantly leads to road accidents. Hence, the growth of studies on attention deficit detection becoming more important. The studies obtained the waveform from electroencephalography (EEG) to identify the characteristic of attention. However, each individual has own unique characteristics to significantly shown the attention deficit. Thus, this research aim is to use the fuzzy approach to minimize the variability gap of the EEG signal between each individual. The research conducted the prior experiment to develop control parameter for training set of fuzzy by using two distinct stimulations to create two groups of attention sample i.e., attentive and inattentive. An approach of novel Hybrid Mean Fuzzy (HMF) was proposed in this research to detect attention deficit in EEG signal. It is the combination of simple averaging (Mean) and Fuzzy approaches for EEG analysis and classification. The results of using this method shows a significantly change in EEG signal which correlates to the attention detection. An Attention Degradation Scale (ADS) is successfully developed as the threshold value of EEG for attention detection. Therefore, the findings in this research can be a promising foundation on attention deficit detection in large application not only for reducing the road accidents.

“…The Muse EEG headband from InteraXon Inc, Toronto, ON, Canada, which was developed in 2003 and released in 2014, was used to acquire electrical activities of the brain in the present study. This is a non-invasive, portable, and easy to use EEG measuring device, which is validated for the research by Krigolson, Williams, Norton, Hassall, and Colino [ 50 ] and used by many researchers [ 22 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Effects of Daily Probiotics Supplementation on Anxiety Induced Physiological Parameters among Competitive Football Players

Competitive football players who undergo strenuous training and frequent competitions are more vulnerable to psychological disorders. Probiotics are capable of reducing these psychological disorders. The present study aimed to determine the effect of daily probiotics supplementation on anxiety induced physiological parameters among competitive football players. The randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 20 male footballers who received either probiotics (Lactobacillus Casei Shirota strain 3 × 1010 colony forming units (CFU) or a placebo drink over eight weeks. Portable biofeedback devices were used to measure the electroencephalography, heart rate, and electrodermal responses along with cognitive tests at the baseline, week 4, and week 8. Data were statistically analyzed using mixed factorial ANOVA and results revealed that there is no significant difference between the probiotic and placebo groups for heart rate (61.90 bpm ± 5.84 vs. 67.67 bpm ± 8.42, p = 0.09) and electrodermal responses (0.27 µS ± 0.19 vs. 0.41 µS ± 0.12, p = 0.07) after eight weeks. Similarly, brain waves showed no significant changes during the study period except for the theta wave and delta wave at week 4 (p < 0.05). The cognitive test reaction time (digit vigilance test) showed significant improvement in the probiotic group compared to the placebo (p < 0.05). In conclusion, these findings suggest that daily probiotics supplementation may have the potential to modulate the brain waves namely, theta (relaxation) and delta (attention) for better training, brain function, and psychological improvement to exercise. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanism of current findings.
