Using stress as a variable, can analyze how stress affects the brain utilizing brain imaging software
Potentially 2 groups: “high” stress and “low” stress individuals.
Groups are sorted via scale on Qualtrics survey
Measure of brain structure (specifically volume) in high stress vs low stress groups
Stress in two ways: perceived stress (survey) and physiological stress (heart rate variability)
Stress and its relation to brain scans and brain volume
Meet with Bea to learn kubios software to analyze heart rate variability
