Functional Connectivity Within the Fronto-Parietal Network Predicts Complex Task Performance: A fNIRS Study

Performance in complex tasks is essential for many high risk operators. The achievement of such supported by high-level cognitive functions arguably involving functional activity and connectivity a large ensemble brain areas that form the fronto-parietal network. Here we aimed at determining whether rest within this network could predict performance task: Space Fortress video game. Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) data from 32 participants were recorded during Resting-State period, completion simple version (monotask) original (multitask). intrinsic (i.e., Resting-State) was significant predictor multitask but not its monotask version. same pattern observed task. Our overall results suggest be used as an marker prediction task achievement, performance.
