Abstract

Objective. Race driving is a complex motor task that involves multiple concurrent cognitive processes in different brain regions coordinated to maintain and optimize speed and control. Delineating the neuroplasticity accompanying the acquisition of complex and fine motor skills such as racing is crucial to elucidate how these are gradually encoded in the brain and inform new training regimes. This study aims, first, to identify the neural correlates of learning to drive a racing car using non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) imaging and longitudinal monitoring. Second, we gather evidence on the potential role of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in enhancing the training outcome of race drivers.Approach. We collected and analyzed multimodal experimental data, including drivers' EEG and telemetry from a driving simulator to identify neuromarkers of race driving proficiency and assess the potential to improve training through anodal tDCS.Main results. Our findings indicate that theta-band EEG rhythms and alpha-band effective functional connectivity between frontocentral and occipital cortical areas are significant neuromarkers for acquiring racing skills. We also observed signs of a potential tDCS effect in accelerating the learning process.SignificanceThese results provide a foundation for future research to develop innovative race-driving training protocols using neurotechnology.

获得赛车驾驶技能的脑电图相关。
比赛驾驶是一项复杂的运动任务,涉及多个并发的认知过程,在不同的大脑区域协调,以保持和优化速度和控制。描述复杂精细运动技能(如赛车)习得过程中的神经可塑性,对于阐明这些技能如何在大脑中逐渐编码并为新的训练制度提供信息至关重要。本研究的目的是,首先,利用无创脑电图成像和纵向监测来识别学习驾驶赛车的神经关联。其次,我们收集了经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)在提高赛车手训练效果方面的潜在作用的证据。我们收集并分析了多模态实验数据,包括驾驶员的脑电图和驾驶模拟器的遥测数据,以确定赛车熟练程度的神经标记物,并评估通过anodal tDCS改善训练的潜力。我们的研究结果表明,脑电图的θ波段节律和额中央和枕叶皮质区之间的α波段有效功能连通性是获得赛车技能的重要神经标志物。我们还观察到tDCS在加速学习过程中的潜在作用。这些结果为未来研究利用神经技术开发创新的赛车训练方案提供了基础。
