1. Does blood pressure differ between rest, congruent and incongruent conditions of the Stroop task?

2. Do OSA patients respond differently to the Stroop than healthy controls?

3. Can the differences be explained by the breathing/speaking rate of the Stroop task?

Analyses

Repeated measures ANOVA:

1. Within-subject factor: condition

   1. Word reading

   2. Color naming

   3. Incongruent

   4. Rest period

2. Between-subject factor:

   1. OSA vs. healthy control (HC)

3. Dependent variables:

   1. Breathing rates

   2. Inspiratory duty cycle (inhale/(inhale+exhale))

   3. Systolic blood pressure

   4. Diastolic blood pressure

   5. Mean blood pressure

Correlations:

1. Breathing rate per condition X blood pressure per condition

2. Breathing rate difference (congruent - incongruent) X blood pressure (congruent - incongruent)

3. Are the differences in correlations between OSA and healthy controls significant?
