Stroop vs. Rest
Blood Goal: Assess blood pressure differences between rest and the Stroop task and whether this difference is different in OSA than healthy controls (HCs).

Naming the color of a word that describes a color but is printed in a different color. This condition is an incongruent set of stimuli and requires inhibition of our automatic mental reading abilities. Therefore, it requires more time (i.e. response time) to name the colors.
Each block had a maximum duration of 270 seconds or 4.5 minutes.
A Stroop effect or score can be computed from the accuracy (number of mistakes) and time to read through the list. Thereby, timing and accuracy of all 3 conditions are considered.
