Brain Imaging Methods in the Research Field of Interruption Science: An Analysis of Applied Methods

The application of brain imaging methods can provide invaluable insights into the neural substrates of human cognition, emotion, behavior, and performance, thereby facilitating a profound understanding of information processing in the context of Neuro-Information Systems (NeuroIS). In this paper, we aim to pave the way for future research efforts by detailing the applicability of such methods in the research field of interruption science. Building on a previous review of neurophysiological measurements in interruption science, we focus on the methodological aspects of the identified papers. Specifically, we provide an overview of how brain imaging methods can be used in interruption science by providing an overview of the applied brain imaging methods and their measurement purpose. We also describe one example study used in the domains of electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) by detailing the following factors: research objective, research method, sample size, study population, and research results.
