Abstract

This study examined the concomitant variations of cardiac (re)activity (pre-ejection period: PEP) and metabolic brain activity (functional near infrared spectroscopy) during a cognitive task in young adults. Variants of a flanker task involved different levels of inhibition control using a within-subject design and implied neutral, congruent and incongruent conditions as well as conditions requiring a response (Go) or no response (No-Go). Preliminary results showed that behavioral performance was significantly decreased when the required level of inhibitory control increased. PEP reactivity (the difference between PEP values during the task and PEP values during the resting period) was significantly lower than 0 only during the first minute of each experimental task condition (lasting about 4.5 minutes), going back to baseline level afterward. PEP reactivity was most important during the most challenging Flanker Go/No-Go block. As a conclusion, PEP reactivity was shown to be sensitive to different levels of inhibitory control requirement and to be a short lasting phenomenon, demonstrating a possible rapid dynamic adaptation of the cardiac activity to task constraints.
