Mean and standard deviation of paired hypoglycemia versus normoglycemia changes (median if nonparametric). A positive change means that the qEEG measure value in the hypoglycemic state exceeds that of the euglycemic state. Two-sample t tests for equal means or Wilcoxon rank sum tests for equal medians lead to the associated p values.
Natural logarithm of absolute amplitude.
