Table 3.
Number (N) of significant (p<0.01) HRJSD central–autonomic coupling indices p(N) used to discriminate between patients suffering from paranoid schizophrenia (SZ) and healthy subjects (CO) pertaining to the frontal area, the left frontal area and the right frontal area. BBI/PEEG indicates the coupling between beat-to-beat intervals (BBI) and the mean power in BBI-related EEG intervals (PEEG). SYS/PEEG indicates the coupling between the maximum systolic blood pressure amplitude values over time (SYS) and the mean power in the BBI-related EEG intervals (PEEG) (e.g. PEEG-E0/BBI describes the coupling of the pattern family E0 from PEEG with all other 8 BBI coupling pattern families (figure 3)).
