  1. EEG band power predictor units in percent of total band power; HR predictor units in beats per minute. Wald t-test two-sided P values are reported for predictor estimates without correction for multiple comparisons. Predictor and parenchymal resistance values in regression models were scaled to zero mean and unit standard deviation with coefficient estimates representing effect size in standard deviations. Positive and negative thresholds are in units of predictor standard deviation. Models included confounding biological variables age, gender and APOE ε4 status.
