Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
(network) Activity of the central nervous system, estimated by phase locking value (PLV), within theta (3 - 7Hz), alpha (7 – 13Hz) and beta (14 – 25Hz) bands, for each of the following networks of interest: whole brain (68 ROIs), default mode network (14 ROIs), central autonomic network (24 ROIs) and visual network (8 ROIs). Activity of the ANS (mean HR, mean RR, LF/HF), further depicted by dermal sympathetic (mean EDA) and cardial parasympathetic activity (RMSSD).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Complementary to the physiological data, questionnaires are conducted to determined symptom expression (via. SCAT5 and visual analog scale), rating of perceived exertion (via. Borg’s RPE) and recovery and stress (via. short recovery and stress scale).
