New study links the concept of "ego depletion" to physical changes in areas that govern executive functions in the brain.
In the awake brain, fatigue appears to correspond to an increase of the EEG waves typical of sleep in the frontal cortex zone dedicated to making decisions.
Researchers subjected a group of individuals to some fatigue tasks lasting one hour instead of the classic fifteen minutes usually used in this type of study - in order to make the potential effect evident.
