Interventions

In our experiment, we provided a 100% normobaric oxygen treatment (5L/min) via a nasal cannula during the adaptation phase of a visuomotor adaptation task. The control group received a similar treatme

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
All primary outcome measures were assessed using a digitalized tablet, stylus pen (Wacom Intuos Pro Pen and Touch Tablet), Movalyzer Software (Neuro-Script LLC, Tempe, AZ), and customized Matlab program, and measured continuously for each trial of the motor learning experiment: 1. Initial direction error 2. Path length 3. Reaction time 4. Movement time 5. Correctness rate 6. Endpoint error

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Blood oxygenation levels measured using a standard pulse oximeter on the left index finger continuously throughout the experiment
