Background Studies using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have shown that
dual-task walking leads to greater prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation compared to the single …

Introduction In young adults, pairing a cognitive task with walking can have different effects
on gait and cognitive task performance. In some cases, performance clearly declines …

Gait features could help to identify workers' mental workload and different emotional
statuses. In the current study, thirty participants were recruited to walk after four emotional …

Cognitive workload assessment is important for optimizing multitasking abilities in the
current information-rich world. A few good research studies assess cross task classification …

Executive functions are important for successful accomplishment of walking tasks,
particularly during a dual task. Over the past few years, several studies investigated …

This study elucidates the neural mechanisms underlying increasing cognitive load while
walking by employing 2 versions of a response inhibition task, the '1-back'version and the …

Cortical activity and walking speed are known to decline with age and can lead to an
increased risk of falls in the elderly. Despite age being a known contributor to this decline …

Background Sensory reafferents are crucial to correct our posture and movements, both
reflexively and in a cognitively driven manner. They are also integral to developing and …

Using wireless multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy, regional difference in cortical
activity over the prefrontal cortex (PFC) was examined before and during overground …

Purpose This study aimed to explore the test-retest reliability of fNIRS in measuring frontal
and parietal cortices activation during straight walking and turning walking in older adults, in …
