Figure showing which data from each article is used in the meta-analyses. Top part of the figure: identification of the different phases which can be present in each article. Middle part of the figure: identification of the type of EEG data which is collected during the corresponsing phase and the occurrence of the different phases with respect to time. Resting-state recording: indicates that during this phase, resting-state EEG data is collected. Recording during task: indicates that during this phase, EEG data is recorded while a participant is actively engaged with a task. Lower part of the figure: shows which data from each article is used in the meta-analysis. A blue circle denotes data used in the meta-analysis from a phase in which no psychosocial stressor is present. These phases are either the baseline phase or the control phase. A yellow circle denotes data used in the meta-analysis from a phase in which a psychosocial stressor is present or a phase where the effects of a psychosocial stressor are still present. These phases are either the anticipatory phase, the reactive phase or the recovery phase. An arrow indicates the comparison made between the data from the phase in which a psychosocial stressor is present and the phase without a psychosocial stressor. A light blue/yelow circle indicates that the corresponding article contains data from the indicated phases, but that this data is not used in the meta-analysis. The articles are defined on the left of the figure, and are grouped based on the EEG measure on which a meta-analysis is conducted (indicated at the right of the figure).
