Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Heart Rate Variability (HRV) 25 minutes total: Baseline (10 mins), During sound exposure (10 mins), and After sound exposure (5 mins). Standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN) and Root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) measured by a physiological monitoring system.,Electroencephalogram (EEG) 25 minutes total: Baseline (10 mins), During sound exposure (10 mins), and After sound exposure (5 mins). Power Spectral Density of Alpha and Beta brainwaves measured via an EEG headset or recording system.,Anxiety score change Measured twice for each session: immediately before starting the 10 minute sound exposure and immediately after the session ends. Difference between pre and post test scores using STAI Form Y1. Scores range from 20 to 80. Higher scores mean more anxiety. Comparison shows the impact of sound. | — |
