Notes: in this and the following table, the conditions are coded as follows: LC1–LC7 refer to the 7 levels of illumination intensities, P1–P3 are the 3 subjects, M1–M3 are head movement rates, and H refers to recordings made immediately after exercise with falling heart rate. (Full details are listed in Table 2.)
