EEG correlates of fatigue during administration of a neuropsychological test battery

Highlights ► Prolonged administration of neuropsychological testing induces increased self-reported and performance-related fatigue. ► Modulation of EEG activity during neuropsychological testing is an index of fatigue rather than a training effect. ► Fatigue effect should be taken into consideratio...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Prolonged administration of neuropsychological testing induces increased self-reported and performance-related fatigue. ► Modulation of EEG activity during neuropsychological testing is an index of fatigue rather than a training effect. ► Fatigue effect should be taken into consideration during administration of a neuropsychological test battery in clinical populations.
