    "title": "Risk Taking and Impulsivity in Boredom: an EEG investigation",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Previous research on boredom suggest it function as an\nimportant self-regulatory signal, indicating that the current\nstate of the environment carries opportunity-costs and\ntherefore driving the need to explore alternative activities. Trait\nboredom proneness is associated with negative consequences\nincluding increased risk-taking and impulsivity. These\nfindings often rely on self-reports and not much is known about\nthe role of state and trait boredom in controlled laboratory\ntasks, or their neural correlates. Sixty-two participants\ncompleted the Balloon Analogue Risk Task and a go/no-go\ntask while electrical brain activity was recorded using EEG.\nResults showed that state boredom leads to impulsivity and\npoor performance monitoring, as evident by behavioral,\nsubjective and ERP metrics. Trait boredom was associated\nwith increased risk-taking, and modulated the correlation\nbetween errors and state boredom: high boredom proneness\nincreased the sensitivity of trait boredom to errors. Overall,\nthese findings emphasize the involvement of executive\nfunctions in the interaction between state and trait boredom.",
