Dots and whisker plots show the mean left (blue) and right (green) pial artery pulsation (cc-TQ) in the sitting position, and left (red) and right (purple) pial artery pulsation (cc-TQ) during the BOPT measured with NIR-T/BSS in females (n = 23) and males (n = 15).

<p>The dots represent the means and the whiskers the 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance (p values or NS for not statistically significant) are for sex asymmetries (females vs. males).
