Endogenous Cortisol Levels, Sleep or Vigilance: Which Factors Contribute to Better Exposure Therapy Outcomes in the Morning?
BackgroundResearch suggests that exposure therapy delivered in the morning is more successful than delivered in the evening, which is often explained...

HD-tDCS mitigates the executive vigilance decrement only under high cognitive demands
Maintaining vigilance is essential for many everyday tasks, but over time, our ability to sustain it inevitably decreases, potentially entailing...

Episodic memory causes a slow oscillation of EEG, awakening and performance recovery from sleep episodes during monotonous psychomotor test
The aim of this study is to detect changes in a functional state during the performance of monotonous psychomotor test. We propose that these changes...

A vigilance decrement comes along with an executive control decrement: Testing the resource-control theory
A decrease in vigilance over time is often observed when performing prolonged tasks, a phenomenon known as “vigilance decrement.” The present study...
