Signal detection theory can be used to better understand cognitive fatigue
A team of New Jersey researchers has shown that changes in perceptual certainty and response bias, two central metrics of signal detection theory (SDT), correlate with changes in cognitive fatigue. They also show that SDT measures change as a function of changes in brain activation. This finding was reported in
Frontiers in Psychology on January 15, 2021, in the open access article Using Signal Detection Theory to Better Understand Cognitive Fatigue (doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2020.579188).
The authors are Glenn Wylie, DPhil, Brian Yao, PhD, and John DeLuca, PhD, of Kessler Foundation, and Joshua Sandry, PhD, of Montclair State University.

Functional connectivity in brain s fatigue network changes in response to cognitive fatigue
Kessler Foundation researchers have demonstrated changes in the functional connectivity within the fatigue network in response to cognitive fatigue. This finding, the first of its kind, was reported in
Scientific Reports on December 14, 2020 in the open access article, Using functional connectivity changes associated with cognitive fatigue to delineate a fatigue network (doi: 10.1038//s41598-020-78768-3).
The authors are Glenn Wylie, DPhil, Brian Yao, PhD, Helen M. Genova, PhD, Michele H. Chen, PhD, and John DeLuca, PhD, of Kessler Foundation. All have faculty appointments at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Dr. Wylie is also a research scientist at The Department of Veterans Affairs War-related Injury and Illness Study Center at the New Jersey Healthcare System.
