Guided breathing protocols that modulate autonomic nervous system activity and heart rate variability (HRV). Six evidence-based patterns including Box Breathing, Coherent Breathing, and Physiological Sigh.
Classic colour-word interference paradigm assessing selective attention and cognitive inhibition. Sensitive to prefrontal cortex function — commonly used alongside TMS and tDCS protocols targeting the DLPFC.
Response inhibition task measuring impulsivity and motor control. Participants must respond quickly to target stimuli while suppressing responses to non-targets. Widely used in NIBS research on impulse control disorders.
N-back paradigm evaluating the capacity to hold and manipulate information in real time. A core measure of executive function and a primary target of prefrontal neuromodulation protocols.
