Note: The experience scale goes from −100 (very negative) to +100 (very positive). Expressivity is expressed as percentage of baseline levels. All other parameters are differences with baseline level. HR=Heart Rate, BP=Blood Pressure, PC=Pulse Composite, FT=Finger Temperature, RA=Respiratory Amplitude, RR=Respiratory Rate.
