Note. There is a special case in this experiment, which aims at subjects 3 and 7. For the case of subject 3, the MAEP of the EeHRA-right method is more than that of the EeHRA-left and EeHRA-bilateral methods. For a similar situation, subject 7 gets the highest MAEP using the EeHRA-left. These problems result in higher MAEP of the EeHRA-bilateral method. Furthermore, in these situations, the abnormal IHR mechanism fails because the scores of some unuseful IHR values in the HRP are not close to 1. According to the principle of the AntIHub, these IHRs are deemed to be the normal data. So, in this condition, the MAEP of the EeHRA-bilateral increases.
