| Research Abstract |
We measured brain activity with NIRS system during dual task with driving simulator and grasping task. We found that level of brain activity decreased during time course of driving simulation. The deterioration of brain activity was recovered by presenting cognitive load. We also found that level of brain activity decreased during time course of grasping task The amount of decrease was significantly smaller when subjects used non-preferable hand for the task.
