Mental fatigue impairs endurance performance in a time-to-exhaustion handgrip task: psychophysiological markers of effort engagement dynamics by Sarvenaz Daneshgar-Pironneau, Michel Audiffren, Abdelrahni Benraïss, Angèle Métais, Nathalie André

“…Psychophysiological data were recorded on a continuous basis during the whole experiment.ResultsMental fatigue was induced successfully: behavioral and psychophysiological data suggest gradual disengagement of effort in the fatiguing task but not in the control task (increased reaction time and error rate as the function of time in the Stroop task; higher mid-frontal theta during the Stroop task compared to the control task; decreased stimulus-locked theta rhythm over time during the Stroop task; increased low frequency heart rate variability during the Stroop task). …”
