  • Note: SD = standard deviation; LF_D = left frontal delta; RF_D = right frontal delta; LP_D = left parietal delta; RP_D = right parietal delta; LPF_D = left prefrontal delta; RPF_D = right prefrontal delta; LT_D = left temporal delta; RT_D = right temporal delta; LO_D = left occipital delta; RO_D = right occipital delta.

  • * Variable with statistically significant differences between groups (p < 0.05).
