Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We will perform a group analysis considering multiple comparisons, mapping the EEG generation areas for each frequency (delta, theta, alpha, beta) across the scalp using a 32-channel system. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Respiratory rate, minute ventilation, tidal volume, end tidal CO2 concentration will be measured with a gas analyzer. Subjective emotional and cognitive levels will be measured with following assessments. Self rating Depression Scale, State Trait Anxiety Inventory), Visual Analog Scales measuring for comfortableness, arusal level, level of memory retrieval, level of brinb back and arousal level of memory and an interview for autobiographical memory protocol. | — |
