| 1. P300 records an Event-Related Potential and is used to analyze brain waveforms that corresponds to attention memory and information processing. 2. Trail Making Test (TMT-A and TMT-B) used to assess executive function and attentional abilities. Part A of TMT evaluates the information processing speed, while part B assesses cognitive flexibility or switching. In part A, the task consisted in connecting numbers (from 1 to 25) with straight lines as fast as possible. In part B, participants had to alternate between letters in alphabetical order and numbers in ascending order (1-A-2-B-3C, etc.) as fast as possible. 3.
