Table 2. Upper (ΔU) and lower (ΔL) equivalence bounds that were used in the equivalence test for the alertness-related parameters.

Fig. 4. Temporal trajectory of a) vitality, b) sleepiness, c) mean reaction time for PVT, d) standard deviation for the PVT, e) mean reaction time for the 10% slowest responses of the PVT, f) coefficient of variation for the PVT, g) mean reaction time for the 10% fastest responses of the PVT, and h) PVT motivation. The graphs are based on the models without the correction for time in session. The error bars represent SE.
