What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. qEEG assessed through the gamma bands

    Time frame: Day 1 of each treatment period at Predose, 0.25h, 1h, 1.25h, 3h and 8h

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pupil Size - to assess the relationship between qEEG and pupil size

    Time frame: Day 1 of each treatment period at Predose, 0.25h, 1h, 1.25h, 3h, and 8h

  2. Electronystagmography - to assess the relationship between qEEG and spontaneous nystagmus.

    Time frame: Day 1 of each treatment period at Predose, 1h, 3h, and 8h

  3. Bond/Lader scales and eVAS - to assess the subject's alertness, calmness and contentment

    Time frame: Day 1 of each treatment period at Predose, 0.5h, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 2.5h, 3h, and 8h
