Overview

May support binaural beats for acute vigilance; hypothesis-generating and requires larger randomized validation.

Structured PICO

Does 16 Hz binaural beats auditory stimulation mitigate mental stress and enhance cognitive vigilance in participants subjected to induced stress?

P
Population
Participants subjected to mental stress induced by Stroop Color-Word Task (SCWT) under time constraint and negative feedback
I
Intervention
16 Hz binaural beats auditory stimulation (BBs) for 10 minutes
O
Outcome
Stress level and cognitive vigilance assessed via reaction time, target detection accuracy, salivary alpha-amylase, and fNIRS-based functional connectivitysurrogate

16 Hz binaural beats auditory stimulation effectively mitigates induced mental stress and enhances cognitive vigilance, supported by behavioral, physiological, and neuroimaging metrics.
