Subclaims¶

q2 i? Greater average temporal flexibility in BA 10 at beta-band frequencies (estimate 0.6, p = 0.001) and greater search information in BA 45 at theta-band frequencies (estimate 0.6, p = 0.002) were associated with higher Suture Sponge performance scores. → Shafiei 2024 q2 i? Greater average temporal flexibility in BA 18 at beta-band frequencies was associated with higher Tubes performance (estimate 0.52, p = 0.01). → Shafiei 2024 (2)

Evidence¶

Shafiei 2024¶

Shafiei, S. B., Shadpour, S., Sasangohar, F., Mohler, J. L., Attwood, K. & Jing, Z. (2024). Development of performance and learning rate evaluation models in robot-assisted surgery using electroencephalography and eye-tracking. npj Science of Learning 9:3. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-024-00216-y

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Linear random intercept model for Suture Sponge performance (66 attempts; subject random effect p = 0.004, pseudo R2 = 0.75). Features came from coherence-based functional brain networks across 21 Brodmann areas and four frequency bands; only regression estimates and p-values are printed.

"A one-standard deviation increase in the average temporal flexibility in BA 10 at beta-band frequencies was associated with a 0.6-point improvement in the performance score for the suture sponge task, suggesting that enhanced neural flexibility in this area of the brain is associated with better performance."

Shafiei 2024 (2)¶

Shafiei, S. B., Shadpour, S., Sasangohar, F., Mohler, J. L., Attwood, K. & Jing, Z. (2024).

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Same Tubes random intercept model (61 attempts, pseudo R2 = 0.71), reporting "a 0.52-point performance improvement" per SD increase in BA 18 beta-band temporal flexibility. The authors link BA 18 to visual attention and visuo-spatial processing and beta-band activity to logical and conscious thinking, as interpretation rather than a tested mediation.

"In contrast, a one-standard deviation increase in the average temporal flexibility in Brodmann area 18 (BA 18) at beta band frequencies was associated with a 0.52-point performance improvement"
