Before revision:  As cognitive load decreases with better performance, we used a novel method for brain assessment that enables an extraction of a cognitive load neurological biomarker . 38 participants were assigned into 3 experiments examining their behavioral performance undergoing a task with the Simbionix LAP MENTO simulator, while their brain activity was measured using a single-electrode EEG by Aurora by Neurosteer . Each task was repeated 3 times with difference session setups. Correlations between a cognitive biomarker (VC9) and behavioral performance measurements (e. g. accuracy, economy of movement and time to exceed the task). Exp 1 results exhibited an improvement in behavioral performance with no correlations to VC9.
After revision:  As cognitive load decreases with better performance, we used a novel method for brain assessment that enables an extraction of a cognitive load neurological biomarker . 38 participants were assigned into 3 experiments examining their behavioral performance undergoing a task with the Simbionix LAP MENTO simulator, while their brain activity was measured using a single-electrode EEG by Aurora by Neurosteer . Each task was repeated 3 repeats of a simulator task using laparoscopic hands. The retention between tasks was different on each experiment, to examine changes in performance and cognitive load biomarkers that occur during the task or as a results of night sleep consolidation. The participants behavioral performance improved with trial repetition in all 3 experiments. In Exps. 1 results exhibited an improvement in behavioral performance with no correlations to VC9.
