Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be the changes in Heart Rate Variability, imposed by the different frequencies and laterality of the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As a secondary outcome, changes in heart rate and stimulus perception will be investigated, both imposed by the different frequencies and laterality of transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. | — |
