| Breathing tasks | Other | Breathing tasks include normal breathing through nose or mouth, breathing while resting wakefully, increase and decrease in breathing rate, and breath counting. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in percentage of breathing node size as assessed by electroencephalogram (EEG) signal | baseline (before breathing task), at the time of the breathing task (about 8 minutes after start of baseline) | |
| Change in presence of breathing nodes as assessed by EEG signal | Baseline (before breathing task), at the time of the breathing task(about 8 minutes after start of baseline) | |
| Changes in thoracoabdominal circumference during stimulation as assessed by thoracoabdominal belts, | Lower and higher frequencies up to 50 Hertz(Hz), current of 1-10 milli ampere (mA), pulse durations of 0.2 milli second (msec) and stimulation periods of 10 to 40 seconds will be used. | Baseline, during the stimulation session (at least 2 hours after baseline) |
| Changes airflow during stimulation as assessed by the nasal/oral pressure transducer [BiNAPS] | Lower and higher frequencies up to 50Hz, current of 1-10mA, pulse durations of 0.2 msec and stimulation periods of 10 to 40 seconds will be used. | Baseline, during the stimulation session (at least 2 hours after baseline) |
| Change in Saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) during stimulation as assessed by the pulse oximetry | Lower and higher frequencies up to 50Hz, current of 1-10mA, pulse durations of 0.2 msec and stimulation periods of 10 to 40 seconds will be used. | Baseline, during the stimulation session (at least 2 hours after baseline) |
| Change in end tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) during stimulation | Lower and higher frequencies up to 50Hz, current of 1-10mA, pulse durations of 0.2 msec and stimulation periods of 10 to 40 seconds will be used. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Quantification of the breathing changes as assessed by the change in breathing rate | Breathing rate is the number of breaths taken per minute. Breathing changes will be visually identified live during stimulation sessions using thoraco-abdominal plethysmography and pressure transducer signal (nasal/oral airflow). | baseline (before stimulation), at the time of stimulation (about 8 minutes after start of baseline) |

| Brain mapping with stimulation | Device | Electrical stimulation will be used to find specific areas of the brain involved in breathing function. Stimulation will be applied using a Nihon Kohden MEE-1000A neural function measuring system with the MS-120BK extension unit for brain stimulation. |

| Baseline, during the stimulation session (at least 2 hours after baseline) |
| Quantification of the breathing changes as assessed by the change in breathing depth | Breathing depth, or tidal volume (TV), is the amount of air that normally enters the lungs during quiet breathing. Breathing changes will be visually identified live during stimulation sessions using thoraco-abdominal plethysmography and pressure transducer signal (nasal/oral airflow). | baseline (before stimulation), at the time of stimulation (about 8 minutes after start of baseline) |
| Quantification of the breathing changes as assessed by the change in breathing minute ventilation (MV) | Minute ventilation, also known as total ventilation, is a measurement of the amount of air that enters the lungs per minute. It is the product of respiratory rate and tidal volume. Breathing changes will be visually identified live during stimulation sessions using thoraco-abdominal plethysmography and pressure transducer signal (nasal/oral airflow). | baseline (before stimulation), at the time of stimulation (about 8 minutes after start of baseline) |
