Description
Mateen and co-authors map flow paths in the front brain as mind loss deepens. The mind ill is now read as a net flaw, not lone part loss. Past work left front-brain flow paths half mapped in such hosts. A light scan tool, fNIRS, does the read in this work. The set held 60 hosts split in sound, mild-loss, and full-ill camps. Scans ran at rest and on three mind tasks in the lab.
Tasks were a back-count task, a word flow task, and a Stroop task. Light paths from 48 front spots got grouped in eight zones. Flow paths were scored with shift-share math, tuned as it ran. Group gaps came from mixed fits with trait tweaks in place. Zone-wise false-find caps held the score claims in check.
