Change in the oxy-Hb levels among the three examined groups during the verbal fluency task. A significant statistical alteration in Oxy-Hb among the three examined groups was observed in six channels including three left channels (18, 39, and 45; , 5.282, and 6.732, resp.; , 0.007, and 0.002, resp.; FDR-corrected , 0.013, and 0.009, resp.) and three right channels (27, 33, and 41; , 5.062, and 3.702, resp.; , 0.008, and 0.029, resp., FDR-corrected , 0.018, and 0.04, resp.). The values in the grey channels are nonhomogeneous and >0.029, whereas the values in the colored channels are ≤0.029.
