Trait Self-Control Outperforms Trait Fatigue in Predicting MS Patients’ Cortical and Perceptual Responses to an Exhaustive Task

Figure 1

(a) Source-Detector Grid (SD-Grid) as constructed in the SD GUI (AtlasViewer): X- and Y-axes define a planar space in mm. Yellow lines are channels connecting emitters (in red; E1-E8) with detectors (in blue, D1-D7). Continuous green lines (fixed springs) and channel lines set nonalterable spacing within the probe geometry. Dashed green lines (flexible springs) set alterable spacing within the probe geometry. Springs connect either emitters with detectors or optodes with dummy optodes. Dummy optodes (in black, 16-21) were used to fix the montage to “anchor points” within the 10-5 system for optode placement as specified: 16 at Nz, 17 at AFz, 18 at F7, 19 at F8, 20 at F4, and 21 at F3. Congruence of single emitter (E) and detector (D) positions with the international 10-5 system was maintained for E1 at FFC4, E2 at Fz, E3 at FFC3, E4 at AF4h, E5 at AF3h, E6 at AF8h, E7 at Fpz, E8 at AF7h, D1 at F2, D2 at F1, D3 at AFF6h, D4 at AFz, D5 at AFF5h, D6 at Fp2, and D7 at Fp1. This montage was designed to measure oxygenation concentration at 22 different subareas of the PFC corresponding to the following emitter-detector combinations: E1_D1, E1_D3, E2_D1, E2_D2, E2_D4, E3_D2, E3_D5, E4_D1, E4_D3, E4_D4, E4_D6, E5_D2, E5_D4, E5_D5, E5_D7, E6_D3, E6_D6, E7_D4, E7_D6, E7_D7, E8_D5, and E8_D7. (b) Sensitivity profile as created with AtlasViewer: a Monte Carlo random walk was run with 1e⁷ photons (per optode) migrating through a standard atlas.
