Description of the research topic:
Fatigue is a very common everyday phenomenon and a frequent symptom of a large number of medical conditions. Thus, research on fatigue in general might have substantial contribution to the understanding of basic brain functions and to the analysis of the causes of their dysfunctions. The aim of the proposed PhD study is to examine how cognitive functions in different sensory modalities are sensitive to fatigue. Study will strongly rely on experimental methodologies, on analyses of psychophysical and electrophysiological data. The series of experiments are mainly planned to test the fatigability of healthy individuals. In addition, however, an important part of the project is to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the experience with unusual or chronic fatigue in different groups of patients (e.g. in a group of patients with cardiovascular diseases). Disease related fatigue has a strong deteriorating effect on patients’ everyday functionality. Therefore, in the proposed project we are also interested in the question of how the fatigue related these everyday functionality problems are modulated by the fatigability of specific cognitive processes.
