EEG Monitoring for PERFormance Anticipation (MEEGAPERF)

September 30, 2025 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Electrophysiological and Bioenergetic Study of Variations in Cognitive and Physical Performance in Healthy Humans: EEG Monitoring for PERFormance Anticipation

Identify, characterize and then validate electrophysiological markers linking electrophysiological cerebral activity and performance in cognitive and physical fatigability in humans. To do this, noninvasive explorations of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) will be carried out under two conditions of different experiments, the first one that induces a cognitive fatigability and the second one that induces physical fatigability.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Cognitive Fatigability
Electrophysiological measurements of cerebral activity will be performed by multi-sensor electroencephalography (EEG), which is a non-invasive method.
Electrophysiological measurements of brain activity will be performed by magnetoencephalography (MEG) which is a non-invasive method.
The evaluation of cognitive performance will be carried out by means of behavioral measures, push-button type, handling of a mouse or a joystick.
The assessment of cognitive performance will be carried out using standard behavioral measures, such as reaction time measurement.
The assessment of physical performance will be based both on bioenergetic measurements and on quantitative data collected in continuous and relative to the effort (eg instantaneous pedaling speed).
In order to extract artifacts and verify the physical performances of the subjects, under the conditions of physical fatigability, peripheral electrophysiological recordings will be necessary and complementary to meet the objectives set in this study.
