Abstract

Neurotechnology offers the potential to improve performance in cognitive tasks by tailoring the learning paradigm to the neurophysiological correlates of mental processes. Up to date, there are few studies that investigate the single trial performance of neural decoding in cognitive tasks. In this study we examine EEG data while a given subject is solving questions which are commonly used in intelligence quotient tests. Subjects are instructed to solve a number of visual template matching tasks. Our findings suggest that it is possible to decode the true answer from the subjects' ERP responses at the time of its presentation. These results indicate that neurophysiological markers could be useful for neurotechnology assisted learning paradigms.
