[0047] Figure 2It is a structural schematic diagram of a cognitive potential evaluation device in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application provide a cognitive potential evaluation method, as shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0050] Step 101, according to the working nature of the testee and the test evaluation target, determining a target behavior paradigm, and acquiring a cognitive task conforming to the target behavior paradigm from a behavior scene database.

[0051] Among them, the target behavior paradigm contains multiple resting states and multiple task states.

[0052] Step 102, collecting the electroencephalogram data of the testee when performing the cognitive task, recording the reaction time and reaction right and wrong of the testee when performing the cognitive task, and counting the reaction accuracy of the testee when performing the cognitive task.

[0053] Among them, the electroencephalogram data includes first data and second data, the first data is the electroencephalogram data of the testee in the resting state of the target behavior paradigm, and the second data is the electroencephalogram data of the testee in the task state of the target behavior paradigm.

[0054] Step 103, if the reaction accuracy of the testee when performing the cognitive task is greater than a preset threshold, calculating the electroencephalogram difference value between the first data and the second data.

[0055] Among them, the electroencephalogram data is the time domain feature and / or frequency domain feature of the electroencephalogram.

[0056] Specifically, if the reaction accuracy of the testee when performing the cognitive task is greater than a preset threshold, the time domain difference between the time domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the testee in the resting state of the target behavior paradigm and the time domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the testee in the task state of the target behavior paradigm is calculated.

[0057] And / or,

[0058] ​calculating a frequency domain difference between the frequency domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the tested object in the resting state of the target behavioral paradigm and the frequency domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the tested object in the task state of the target behavioral paradigm.

[0059] In step 104, the cognitive potential of the tested object is evaluated according to the reaction time, the reaction accuracy and the electroencephalogram difference value.

[0060] In the embodiment, after recording the reaction time of the tested object performing the cognitive task, the reaction time can be further included in a group database to form a reaction time normal distribution curve, and the reaction time of the tested object in the test group is calculated, the test group including a plurality of tested persons, and the group database including the reaction time of each tested person performing the cognitive task.

[0061] After the reaction accuracy of the tested object performing the cognitive task is counted, the reaction accuracy can be further included in a group database to form a reaction accuracy normal distribution curve, and the reaction accuracy of the tested object in the test group is calculated, the test group including a plurality of tested persons, and the group database including the reaction accuracy of each tested person performing the cognitive task.

[0062] After the time domain difference between the time domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the tested object in the resting state of the target behavioral paradigm and the time domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the tested object in the task state of the target behavioral paradigm is calculated, the time domain difference can be further included in a group database to form a time domain difference normal distribution curve, and the time domain difference of the tested object in the test group is calculated, the test group including a plurality of tested persons, and the group database including the time domain difference of each tested person performing the cognitive task.

[0063] After the frequency domain difference between the frequency domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the tested object in the resting state of the target behavioral paradigm and the frequency domain feature of the electroencephalogram of the tested object in the task state of the target behavioral paradigm is calculated, the frequency domain difference can be further included in a group database to form a frequency domain difference normal distribution curve, and the frequency domain difference of the tested object in the test group is calculated, the test group including a plurality of tested persons, and the group database including the frequency domain difference of each tested person performing the cognitive task.

[0064] Accordingly, the cognitive potential ranking of the tested object in the test group can be calculated according to the quantile of the reaction time of the tested object in the test group, the quantile of the reaction accuracy of the tested object in the test group, the quantile of the time domain difference of the tested object in the test group, and the quantile of the frequency domain difference of the tested object in the test group.

[0065] In the embodiment, the weight of the reaction time of the tested object, the weight of the reaction accuracy of the tested object, the weight of the time domain difference of the tested object, and the weight of the frequency domain difference of the tested object can also be determined according to the working nature and the test evaluation target of the tested object.

[0066] Accordingly, the cognitive potential ranking of the tested object in the test group can be calculated according to the weight of the reaction time of the tested object, the weight of the reaction accuracy of the tested object, the weight of the time domain difference of the tested object, the weight of the frequency domain difference of the tested object, the quantile of the reaction time of the tested object in the test group, the quantile of the reaction accuracy of the tested object in the test group, the quantile of the time domain difference of the tested object in the test group, and the quantile of the frequency domain difference of the tested object in the test group.

[0067] The embodiment of the present application can obtain the brain power resource and the brain power resource potential mobilized by the tested object in performing the cognitive task, and obtain the comprehensive ranking of the tested object in the test group based on the behavior data and the brain cognitive resource calling, so as to comprehensively evaluate the cognitive potential of the tested object.

[0068] In this embodiment, cognitive potential assessment can be achieved by performing the following steps: constructing a behavioral scenario database, including but not limited to: (1) visuospatial attention: variations of the Posner paradigm, the Simon paradigm, and the Stroop paradigm; (2) working memory: the n-back paradigm; (3) visual search: the Visual Search paradigm; (4) interference test: the Garner paradigm; (5) decision-making test: the Decision Making paradigm and the Risking Decision paradigm; (6) word interference: Superiority paradigm; (7) Mental Rotation paradigm; (8) Game scenario; Based on the nature of the test subject's work and the test evaluation goals, determine the behavioral paradigm to be used in the test. Each behavioral paradigm includes multiple resting states and multiple task states; Start the test, collect the EEG data of the test subject, and record the reaction time and the correctness of the reaction in real time; Calculate the reaction accuracy rate based on the correctness of the reaction; If the reaction accuracy rate is lower than the preset threshold, it means that the test subject has not entered the state or is not suitable for this group, and return to retest or end the test for the subject; If the reaction accuracy rate is not lower than the preset threshold, the reaction time and reaction accuracy rate are included in the group database. This process generates new normal distribution curves for reaction accuracy and reaction time. Based on the reaction time and accuracy of the test subjects, the quantiles of reaction time and accuracy within the group are calculated and converted into percentages. The time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of the EEG of the test subjects are calculated, and the time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics of the resting state and task state of the EEG are statistically analyzed. Among them, the time-domain characteristics include the amplitude, mean, variance, and kurtosis of the EEG waveform. In the frequency domain, wavelet transform is used, and after multi-level decomposition, wavelet coefficients of 0-8Hz, 8-16Hz, 16-32Hz, 32-64Hz, and 64-128Hz are obtained. The difference between the task state and the resting state corresponding to each characteristic is calculated.

[0069] Cognitive resource theory posits individual differences in cognitive resource reserves, reflected in variations in cognitive abilities. At the individual level, cognitive ability may be positively correlated with brain activation levels. At the group level, when performing cognitive tasks of equal difficulty, individuals with lower cognitive abilities require more cognitive resource activation as compensation to achieve optimal results. This concept forms the core idea of ​​activation compensation theory. Specifically, given the same task performance (e.g., the same accuracy and reaction time), individuals with weaker or smaller brain activation levels when faced with the same cognitive load are considered to have higher cognitive resource reserves because they only need to mobilize fewer neural resources to complete the task. Furthermore, when faced with increased task load or higher reaction intensity requirements, these individuals can mobilize more neural resources to complete high-intensity tasks. Conversely, individuals exhibiting strong brain activation levels in tasks with relatively low cognitive loads are considered to have lower cognitive resource reserves; and when task difficulty increases, these individuals may struggle to mobilize sufficient neural resources to maintain performance, resulting in a decline in task performance. When performing the same cognitive task with comparable performance, people with lower levels of brain activation are considered to have richer cognitive resources and greater cognitive potential.

[0070] Therefore, the corresponding differences between the resting-state "time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics" and the task-state "time-domain and frequency-domain characteristics" are incorporated into the group database to form a new normal distribution curve for "EEG time-domain and frequency-domain differences." When the group reaches a certain size, the differences in various characteristics conform to a normal distribution. Subsequently, based on the "EEG time-domain and frequency-domain differences" of the test subjects, the quantiles of the individuals in the group are calculated and converted into percentages. According to the nature of the test subjects' work and the test evaluation goals, different coefficients are selected to calculate the cognitive potential ranking of the test subjects in the group. By statistically analyzing the comprehensive ranking of the test subjects at different stages, the changes in the cognitive potential of the test subjects after training can be calculated.

[0071] Specifically, based on group test data and the test subject's overall ranking within the group, under specific behaviors:

[0072] (1) Test the accuracy of the test subjects' responses and the individual's ranking in the group;

[0073] (2) Test the reaction time of the test subjects and the individual's ranking in the group reaction time;

[0074] (3) Test the cognitive resource mobilization and activation compensation data of the tested subjects, and the ranking of the cognitive resource mobilization and activation compensation data of the tested subjects in the group;

[0075] (4) Normalize the above three rankings according to a certain proportion to obtain the individual's comprehensive ranking in the group, which is used to assess the cognitive potential of the tested object in the group.

[0076] This invention assesses the cognitive potential of test subjects based on EEG and behavioral paradigms. It can obtain the mental resources and mental resource potential mobilized by the test subjects when performing cognitive tasks, and obtain relevant group data and the test subjects' comprehensive ranking within the group based on behavioral data and brain cognitive resource mobilization. This enables a comprehensive assessment of the test subjects' cognitive potential and allows cognitive potential to be used as reference data in scenarios such as employee onboarding, talent selection, training result evaluation, and personnel work arrangement.
