Five tests of perceptual and cognitive performance: i) the simple reaction time task; ii) the go-nogo task; iii) the attentional network task; iv) the composite face task; and v) the cued recognition memory task.
Approximately 1/2 of participants performed these tasks with concurrent recording of electroencephelography (EEG).

i) estimation of maximal oxygen consumption, ii) determination of energy expenditure and work efficiency at modest levels of exertion, and iii) determination of time spent at 3 levels of physical exertion while performing normal daily activities.
