Table 2.
Comparison of the means ± standard deviations of the EEG theta power spectrum (θ-activity) per channel (µV2/Hz), for the baseline measurements (eyes-open resting state measurements before (pre) and after (post) the simulation) and the three simulated mission scenarios (n = 35). The last row shows the mean θ-activity across all six channels for each measurement/scenario.
