About
Sahar Jahani is a leading researcher in cognitive neuroscience and neuroergonomics, with a focus on how brain connectivity underpins complex motor skill acquisition. Her work centers on using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to map brain connectomes, particularly in high-stakes environments like robotic teleoperations and surgical training. In her highly cited 2020 study, "Expertise and Task Pressure in fNIRS-based brain Connectomes," Jahani demonstrated how fNIRS can distinguish experts from novices by analyzing neural efficiency under pressure, revealing critical differences in bimanual motor coordination. This research has profound implications for accelerating skill learning and optimizing performance in fields where precision and rapid expertise are vital. With 4 citations, her work is gaining traction for its innovative integration of neuroimaging with real-world task demands. Jahani’s contributions are shaping how we understand the neural signatures of expertise, offering a path toward personalized training protocols and adaptive brain-computer interfaces that enhance human performance under stress.
