Driving is a complex task that requires effective neural processing and coordination, which typically degrade with age. Previous studies suggest that age-related differences in cognitive and motor functions might influence driving performance. Herein, we investigated age-related differences in neural responses to reactive and proactive driving conditions using blink-related potentials [1]-[3] and source-level functional connectivity analyses based on amplitude envelope correlation [4]. Seventy-six subjects participated in the two separate driving experiments including reactive (19 young, 28 ol
