<p>Asynchronous music has been commonly used to reduce perceived exertion and render the exercise experience more pleasant. Research has indicated that in-task asynchronous music can reallocate an individual’s attentional focus to task-unrelated signals and increase the use of dissociative thoughts. Nonetheless, the brain mechanisms that underlie the purported benefits of music during exercise remain largely unknown due to the severe motion-related restrictions of popular neuroimaging techniques. <em>f </em>NIRS represents a non-invasive imaging method that is particularly suited to exercise-related protocols given its high tolerance to motion artifacts. With use of <em>f </em>NIRS, the purpose of the proposed study will be to determine the point of onset of cerebral oxygenation decline during exercise and how this is influenced by the presence of asynchroneous (ambient) motivational music. A continuous-wave <em>f </em>NIRS system will be used to record the prefrontal, motor, and parietal hemodynamic responses of 24 participants who will perform a cycle-ergometry exercise protocol. The objective will be to test the hypothesis that brain oxygenation changes will be observed earlier when participants exercise with an audiobook or in silence, when compared with exposure to asynchronous music. The results will shed light on the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie the well-documented ergogenic and psychological effects of music.&nbsp;</p>

No need for them to be recommenders of PCI Registered Reports. Please do not suggest reviewers for whom there might be a conflict of interest. Reviewers are not allowed to review preprints written by close colleagues (with whom they have published in the last four years, with whom they have received joint funding in the last four years, or with whom they are currently writing a manuscript, or submitting a grant proposal), or by family members, friends, or anyone for whom bias might affect the nature of the review - see the code of conduct
