Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control Group
|
|
Experimental: Audio-visual Group
|
A "MindBreaks" room is designed to deliver short, effective, and restorative breaks to help increase energy, reduce stress, enhance mood, improve focus, and boost performance.
For this intervention, the MindBreaks room will contain visual and auditory stimuli.
|
Experimental: Auditory-only Group
This group will recover in the relaxation room with only auditory stimuli.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in cognitive performance relative to baseline
Time Frame: throughout the one day experimental session at time points approximately -35 minutes, -5 minutes, +15 minutes, +35 minutes, +55 minutes relative to the start of the stress induction task
|
Participants will perform the operational SPAN (OSPAN) and symmetry SPAN (SSPAN) working memory assessments at 5 time points throughout the experimental session. The unit score and load score from these assessments are used to measure changes in working memory cognitive performance. Measurements are taken at approximately -35 minutes, -5 minutes, +15 minutes, +35 minutes, and +55 minutes relative to the start of the stress induction task (Trier social stress test, TSST). Each measure will be compared with the -35 minute baseline measurement to detect a change in performance. [Note: times are approximate as there might be slight temporal changes due to the self-paced duration it takes each participant to complete certain portions of the experiment]. |
throughout the one day experimental session at time points approximately -35 minutes, -5 minutes, +15 minutes, +35 minutes, +55 minutes relative to the start of the stress induction task
|
Change in perceived stress relative to baseline
Time Frame: throughout the one day experimental session at time points approximately -35 minutes, -5 minutes, +5 minutes, +15 minutes, +35 minutes, +55 minutes relative to the start of the stress induction task
|
Measures of perceived stress from self-reported surveys will be compared before, during and after a stress induction task relative to baseline. Surveys are completed after the cognitive assessments and during the stress induction task. Measurements are taken at approximately -35 minutes, -5 minutes, +5 minutes, +10 minutes, +15 minutes, +35 minutes, and +55 minutes relative to the start of the stress induction task (Trier social stress test, TSST). Each measure will be compared with the -35 minute baseline measurement to detect a change in performance. [Note: times are approximate as there might be slight temporal changes due to the self-paced duration it takes each participant to complete certain portions of the experiment]. |
throughout the one day experimental session at time points approximately -35 minutes, -5 minutes, +5 minutes, +15 minutes, +35 minutes, +55 minutes relative to the start of the stress induction task
|
Change in heart rate relative to baseline
Time Frame: throughout the one day experimental session during baseline (-35 minutes to -5 minutes), stress induction task (+0 to +15 minutes), recovery period #1 (+15 to +35 minutes), recovery period #2 (+35 to +55 minutes) epochs
|
Measures of heart rate from wearable devices will be compared before, during and after a stress induction task. Heart rate will be measured continuously and binned during the following epochs of the experimental session (all times relative to the start of the stress induction task and are approximates due to some temporal delays in transitioning between epochs): baseline (-35 minutes to -5 minutes), stress induction task (+0 to +15 minutes), recovery period #1 (+15 to +35 minutes), recovery period #2 (+35 to +55 minutes). [Note: times are approximate as there might be slight temporal changes due to the self-paced duration it takes each participant to complete certain portions of the experiment]. |
throughout the one day experimental session during baseline (-35 minutes to -5 minutes), stress induction task (+0 to +15 minutes), recovery period #1 (+15 to +35 minutes), recovery period #2 (+35 to +55 minutes) epochs
|
Change in electroencephalography (EEG) alpha band power relative to baseline
Time Frame: throughout the one day experimental session during baseline (-35 minutes to -5 minutes), stress induction task (+0 to +15 minutes), recovery period #1 (+15 to +35 minutes), recovery period #2 (+35 to +55 minutes) epochs
|
Measures of neural activity, (electroencephalography, EEG) from a wearable device will be compared before, during and after a stress induction task. Alpha band power will be measured and binned during the following epochs of the experimental session (all times relative to the start of the stress induction task and are approximates due to some temporal delays in transitioning between epochs): baseline (-35 minutes to -5 minutes), stress induction task (+0 to +15 minutes), recovery period #1 (+15 to +35 minutes), recovery period #2 (+35 to +55 minutes). [Note: times are approximate as there might be slight temporal changes due to the self-paced duration it takes each participant to complete certain portions of the experiment]. |
throughout the one day experimental session during baseline (-35 minutes to -5 minutes), stress induction task (+0 to +15 minutes), recovery period #1 (+15 to +35 minutes), recovery period #2 (+35 to +55 minutes) epochs
