One of the paramount goals of healthcare is to maximize patient safety by optimizing the performance of healthcare professionals in the clinical setting. Over the last decade, functional neuroimaging studies have delineated the neurocognitive mechanisms that underpin optimal performance in the clinical domain, specifically identifying the neural correlates of clinical expertise and performance under stress.
Whilst these studies provide fascinating insights into the neural mechanisms of clinical performance, the next logical step in this work would be to identify specific neuroadaptive interventions that can modulate brain behavior and therefore enhance performance in the clinical workplace.
With an increasing pool of literature investigating the use of neuromodulatory interventions to improve task performance in simple motor tasks, this collection invites authors who have investigated the use of these interventions to improve performance in the clinical workplace.
We invite studies that use fNIRS, fMRI, or EEG which investigate the use of interventions such as (but not limited to) neurostimulation, mental rehearsal, neurofeedback, or novel technologies in modulating brain behavior and clinical task performance among healthcare professionals.
-Identify specific neuroadaptive interventions to enhance clinical performance
-Explore the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying optimal clinical performance
-Investigate the neural correlates of clinical expertise and performance under stress
-Examine the use of neuromodulatory interventions to improve task performance in the clinical workplace
-Utilize functional neuroimaging techniques such as fNIRS, fMRI, or EEG to enhance clinical performance
-Explore interventions like neurostimulation, mental rehearsal, neurofeedback, and novel technologies
We invite original articles and review papers that investigate the impact of novel interventions on brain behavior and therefore task performance in the clinical setting. This includes but is not limited to, surgeons, anesthetists, emergency room staff, nurses, or other healthcare professionals.
Keywords:
Neuroergonomics, Functional neuroimaging, Mental rehearsal, Neurostimulation, Neurofeedback, Neuroplasticity, Clinical performance

All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
