However, it is unknown how WMP and HA is modulated by increasing working memory load (WML) under different mood states. We investigate the interactive effects of mood state (psychological factor) and WML (difficulty factor) on WMP and HA with N-back task using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging of the PFC in 31 healthy subjects (HS). Our study reveals distinct mood-dependent modulations of HA with increasing WML which correlate with decreasing WMP. The influence of mood on performance is greatest at high WML. © 2018 IEEE. publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. date: 2018 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Feng, Y.X. and Ung, W.C. and Dass, S.C. and Mohd Hani, A.F. and Tang, T.B. and Wei Ho, E.T.
