Navy Researches Impacts of Cognitive Fatigue
Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton’s Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (NAMRU-Dayton/NAMRL) is addressing the human performance needs of the warfighter by investigating the impacts of cognitive fatigue on attentional control and associated neural activity. During testing, researchers use a headband-like device placed over the participant’s forehead to monitor activity in a region of the brain involved in attention, the prefrontal cortex.
