Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to identify whether different polymorphisms in central nervous system genes are correlated with emotional responses and kinematic patterns of improvised dance movement after acute visual stress, verifying if individuals with higher motor skills show fewer motor changes than individuals with lower motor skills | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Negative visual emotional stimuli are expected to alter the mood state and free dance movement of the participants, with variations in temporal and spatial organization captured by kinematics interacting with the genetic profile analyzed through the polymorphisms collected in the saliva | — |
