Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in baseline frequency of maximum of cross-spectrum during 6 weeks (Hz)
Time Frame: 0, 3, 7, 14, and 42 days
the link between the normalized high frequency component of heart rate variability (HRV-HFnu) representing cardiac vagal modulation and frontal alpha power related to resting state
Secondary Outcomes

- Change in persistent homology during 6 weeks(0, 3, 7, 14, and 42 days)
- Change in HF during 6 weeks(0, 3, 7, 14, and 42 days)
