Table 1.

Participant-wise mean of EEG descriptive statistics—kurtosis, root mean square (RMS), Higuchi fractal dimension, zero-crossings—of resting state EEG with eyes open. The difference between each tSCS-on condition with respect to tSCS-off is given in addition to the p-values associated with a Wilcoxon signed-rank test as these descriptive statistics were found to be non-parametric. The p-values were adjusted using the Benjamini/Hochberg false discovery rate correction method.
