Event-related brain potentials reveal enhancing and compensatory mechanisms during dual neurocognitive and cycling tasks

Table 5 Participants’ event-related potentials (ERPs) on the spatial working memory task

All data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. The paired t test was used to compare differences between P1’s peak amplitudes and latencies at rest and while cycling and differences between posterior negativity (PN) and the mean amplitude of late slow wave at rest and while cycling. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyze PN over all retention stages, with post hoc pairwise comparisons performed using multiple Bonferroni tests. ^a and ^b separately indicate significantly greater PN during the late-retention stage than during the early- and mid-retention stages (p < 0.05). The bold p value indicates significant variables after conducting Hochberg’s correction on each component
