  • The apparent cognitive deficit during walking and posture changes comes from measurement errors

    Where this hypothesis actsDuring combined walking and posture transitions with motion contamination of physiological sensors

    What is proposedDistinguish apparent perfusion changes from sensor motion contamination

    With whatInstrument or assay

    HowCompare apparent perfusion changes with independent motion-robust measurements

    Possible resultExpected failure of independent motion-robust measurements to corroborate apparent perfusion changes
