Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Evaluating cognitive task performance often relies on behavioral metrics.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) microstates, dynamic brain activity patterns, offer a potential neural correlate for cognitive processes.
  • The application of EEG microstates to assess performance in specific cognitive tasks like mental arithmetic is underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the hypothesis that EEG microstates can evaluate performance in a mental arithmetic task.
  • To assess the efficacy of EEG microstate features in discriminating between good and poor task performers.
  • To explore the potential of EEG microstates as novel biomarkers for cognitive performance.

Main Methods:

  • EEG data were recorded from 36 subjects during resting and mental arithmetic task states.
  • Subjects were categorized into good and poor performers based on task outcomes.
  • Microstate features (e.g., type C, type D, mean duration, occurrence) were extracted and analyzed.
  • Recursive feature elimination (RFE) was used to select relevant microstate features for classification.
  • A classification model was built using selected features to differentiate performance groups.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in EEG microstate features (type C, type D, mean duration, occurrence) were observed between resting and task states, varying between good and poor performers.
  • Poor performers exhibited more pronounced changes in certain microstate features.
  • Eleven selected microstate features, including four archetypes, achieved high classification performance (mean AUC of 0.831) in differentiating between good and poor performers.
  • The classification model demonstrated the suitability of microstate features for task performance discrimination.

Conclusions:

  • EEG microstate features can effectively reflect task achievement during mental arithmetic.
  • This study provides the first evidence of applying EEG microstate features to specific cognitive tasks in healthy individuals.
  • EEG microstates hold potential as objective measures for assessing cognitive performance and differentiating performance levels.
