PVT = Psychomotor Vigilance Task; HR = heart rate; SCL = skin conductance level. All values correspond to difference scores compared with baseline. Parameters b and c are printed in bold if significantly different from 0; parameters a and d are printed in bold if their 95% confidence intervals do not overlap.
