Individuals have different performance levels for cognitive tasks. Are these performance levels reflected in physiological parameters? The aim of this study was to address this question by systemic physiology augmented functional near-infrared spectroscopy (SPA-fNIRS). We aimed to investigate whether different verbal fluency task (VFT) performances under blue light exposure were associated with different changes in cerebrovascular oxygenation and systemic physiological activity. The VFT performance of 32 healthy subjects (17 female, 15 male, age: 25.5 ± 4.3 years) was investigated under blue light exposure (120 lux). The VFT, which contained letter and category fluency tasks, lasted 9 min. There were rest periods without light exposure before and after the VFT for 8 min and 15 min, respectively. Based on their number of correct responses, subjects were classified into three groups, i.e., good, moderate, and poor performers. During the entire experiment, we simultaneously measured changes in cerebral and systemic physiological parameters using the SPA-fNIRS approach. We found that the better the subject's performance was, the smaller the task-evoked changes in cerebrovascular hemodynamics and oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex. Performance-dependent changes were also evident for skin conductance, arterial oxygen saturation and mean arterial pressure. This is the first VFT study that applies the comprehensive SPA-fNIRS approach to determine the relationship between task performance and changes in cerebral oxygenation and systemic physiology. Our study shows that these parameters are indeed related and the performance is reflected in the task-evoked cerebrovascular and systemic physiological changes.
