    Title: Predicting vulnerability to vigilance decline following sleep deprivation in well-rested persons

    Summary:
    An increasing number of persons are expected to perform to criterion even
    when deprived of sleep. Some cannot, others can and this inter individual
    difference is trait like. We examined four physiological measures that can
    be used to identify persons vulnerable to vigilance decline following sleep
    deprivation. Critically, these predictions could be made from measurements
    obtained after a night of normal sleep. Drift diffusion modelling of RT
    data, Measurement of heart rate variability, magnitude of working-memory
    related activation and task-free fMRI focused on resting state connectivity
    are 4 useful markers. How we implemented these and their trustworthiness is
    discussed.
