Unconscious physiological response of healthy volunteers to dynamic respiration-synchronized couch motion

Radiation Oncology

Table 1 Results of the two-sided Wilcoxon sign rank tests

		average track vs. average static		track3 vs. track1
	Number of included volunteers	p-value	ci₉₅	p-value	ci₉₅
Respiration amplitude	99	0.1	–	< 0.0001	[−0.04, −0.12]
Respiration frequency	99	< 0.0001	[0.08, 0.14]	1	–
Heartrate	78	0.11	–	1	–
Skin conductivity	79	0.46	–	< 0.0001	[−0.29, −0.41]
Eye-tracking	95	0.02	[−0.01, −0.1]	0.003	[0.04, 0.19]

Each row shows one respiration characteristic or the result of one physiological measurement. Each row shows two tests, the first compared the average values of the tracking and the static segments, while the second compared the first with the last tracking segment. For each test, the p-value and the 95% confidence interval (ci₉₅) are shown
