The Influence of Cognitive Status on Brain Activity during Simulated Driving
The present study showed, for the first time, correlations between brain activity evoked during simulated safe driving and MoCA scores. Participants of lower MoCA score showed increased engagement of widespread prefrontal area, commonly associated with sustained attention and planning. Future work will design an adaptive test battery specifically screening for declines in fitness to drive.
