EEG synchronization signatures for decoding attentional states during continuous force control.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mind wandering, the shift of attention from an ongoing task to task-unrelated thoughts, is a pervasive cognitive phenomenon often accompanied by detrimental consequences for task performance. While extensively studied in visual and auditory paradigms, attentional fluctuations during visuo-haptic tasks, such as force control, remain underexplored despite their high relevance to real-world skilled activities such as surgical operations or robotic-assisted manipulation. There exists a critical deficiency in exploring signatures of mind wandering from the perspective of neural synchronization.

Methods

This study investigated EEG-based synchronization features to decode attentional states during a novel continuous force control task using the thought-probe method. Ni
