结局指标

主要结局

Phase amplitude coupling (PAC) strength

时间窗: up to 2 weeks

Gut-brain connectivity will be assessed using phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) to examine the interaction between gastric electrical oscillations and cortical rhythms. PAC will be calculated from electrophysiological raw data to produce one unitless value ranging from -1 to 1, for each subject. The higher the value, the greater the gut-brain connectivity/PAC strength.
