Therefore, it is important to examine stress responses in controlled environments to obtain more insights in performance-influencing effects of acute stress. This study investigated the impact of passive heat exposure combined with virtual combat scenarios on cardiovascular and psychophysiological parameters in a controlled setting. Sixty-eight healthy servicemembers were randomized into a low-stress or high-stress condition. Both groups engaged in two virtual combat scenarios. The low-stress group, however, underwent testing under thermoneutral conditions (M_Temp = 22.4 °C, M_{RelativeHumidity} = 41.4 %) whereas the high-stress group was exposed to passive heat exposure (M_Temp = 35.9 °C, M_{RelativeHumidity} = 66.4 %) using a portable environmental facility. While virtual combat scenarios alone led to a decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) without affecting heart rate (HR), the addition of passive heat exposure elicited a more pronounced physiological stress response, characterized by significantly higher HR and lower HRV in the high-stress condition. However, no significant changes were observed in respiratory rate, salivary cortisol, or alpha-amylase levels across the conditions, suggesting that there was no activation of either the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal or the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary axis. Furthermore, subjective stress and anxiety scores did not differ between conditions, underscoring the physiological nature of the observed changes. Resultantly, the physiological response was likely a thermal reaction rather than an acute stress response. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating environmental stressors into military training protocols to enhance realism and prepare personnel for operational stressors. However, the mild response observed suggests that higher ambient temperatures and longer exposure times may be necessary to evoke a more robust stress response for effective stress inoculation training.</p>","PeriodicalId":54945,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychophysiology","volume":" ","pages":"112491"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142877793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, there is a gap in the literature on assessing this type of rehabilitation. This review proposes using Movement-Related Potentials (MRPs) as a relevant marker for such evaluations. The method employed involves administering a psychomotor task known as the Skilled Performance Task (SPT). Originally described in 1980 by Papakostopoulos, the SPT requires specific abilities, such as bimanual coordination, adaptive programming, and precise timing. Subjects must start and stop a sweep on an oscilloscope screen with accurate timing, receiving immediate feedback that aids in performance improvement. This self-paced, goal-directed, and interactive task ensures continuous engagement and learning. Suitable for all ages, the SPT provides real-time feedback and demands constant attention and reprogramming of movements, making it an effective tool for assessing and promoting cognitive rehabilitation through neuroplasticity. The originality of this task lies in the ability to obtain, with a single motor act, a series of potentials that represent different stages of the processing of a goal-directed and self-initiated action. The MRPs associated with this task are the Bereitschaftspotential (BP), the Motor Cortex Potential (MCP), the N100, the P200, the Skilled Performance Positivity (SPP) and the Post-Action Negativity (PAN).

However, social feedback is not always immediate, and the impact of waiting time on social feedback processing remains unexplored. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs), the present study investigated how waiting time affects the N170, reward positivity (RewP), and P3. Participants (N = 36) completed a social evaluation task, awaiting feedback from liked and disliked peers with short (800-1200 ms) or long (5000-6000 ms) waiting times. Participants were more motivated to receive feedback from liked peers, and they rated acceptance from liked peers as more pleasant than rejection. Notably, participants found longer waits more worthwhile when receiving acceptance from liked peers, but less worthwhile when awaiting feedback from disliked peers. EEG results revealed that the RewP was increased for long waiting times for feedback from liked peers, and, conversely, reduced for long waiting times for feedback from disliked peers. Additionally, N170 and P3 were found to be sensitive to waiting time, with larger amplitudes for long compared to short waits. Overall, this study demonstrates that waiting time differentially affects social feedback processing, as reflected by changes in the N170, RewP, and P3. Our findings suggest that increased waiting time does not necessarily reduce reward value; it can enhance it depending on subjective social preferences. The increased N170 and P3 amplitudes during longer waits may indicate heightened attentional and memory demands.

Firstly, based on hypothesis-driven analysis of the Late Positive Potential (LPP), we found that the early fronto-centro-parietal LPP (400–1000 ms) increased when passively viewing negative versus neutral pictures. Reappraisal did not decrease this LPP. Instead, only during reappraisal, the emotion effect on the parietal LPP was sustained until the picture offset. Secondly, we applied a localizer approach to uncover reappraisal effects with other spatiotemporal characteristics than the traditional LPP but did not observe such effects. Despite indications of theta oscillations being associated with cognitive and/or affective control, no significant effects were found on theta activity for emotion processing or reappraisal. Our findings suggest that emotion regulation may affect the LPP in several ways, depending on the task design and including affective as well as more cognitive influences.

Complementary to the previous research, eye movements and late positive potential (LPP) for fixation stimuli and the presaccadic positivity (PSP) and spike potential (SP) before saccade onset, were compared in two groups of OCD and healthy volunteers.

Therefore, this study investigated whether risks faced by miners at young ages were reflected in electrophysiological signals. Twenty-one underground miners and twenty-two above-ground workers matched with them in terms of age, education, and working duration were included in this study. Participants were recorded with a 20-channel EEG during the resting-state (eyes open and closed; EO-EC) and the perception of the International Affective Picture System Paradigm (IAPS). Time-frequency analyses were performed for alpha frequency. Rs-EEG results showed a statistically significant difference in alpha power between the EO and EC states in the control group. However, there was no statistical difference in alpha power between these two conditions in the miners. Additionally, we noted a more pronounced decrease in alpha responses in the posterior region during EC in the miners. The group's main effects were statistically significant in event-related alpha responses during emotional responses. Accordingly, event-related alpha responses of the miner group were lower than the control group in terms of both power spectrum and phase-locking. Underground mine workers are cognitively and emotionally affected by risks in the work environment. Electrophysiological changes seen in young underground workers may be a harbinger of neurodegenerative disorders in miners' old age.
