Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Selectively Improves Executive Control and Cognitive Flexibility Following Sustained High Cognitive Load: A Randomized, Single-Blind, Sham-Controlled Study

Objectives: Acute exposure to sustained high cognitive load rapidly depletes executive functions, yet rapid, field-compatible countermeasures remain scarce. This study examined whether transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) improves cognitive functions across mu...
