From: Facial skin blood flow responses during exposures to emotionally charged movies
a The %changes in regional facial skin blood flow during emotionally charged challenges (comedy, landscape, and horror) in 12 subjects. The %change data were obtained compared to the baseline control levels (denoted as 100%) for every subject. The data on skin blood flows in the bilateral infraorbital and cheek regions were pooled and averaged, respectively. The data during each emotional challenge were collected as the mean value over the three consecutive bouts, and they were further averaged among the subjects. b The %changes in limb skin blood flow (forearm and the dorsum of the hand) during the emotionally charged challenges were similarly analyzed in 6 or 7 of the 12 subjects. *Significant difference (P < 0.05) from the baseline control before emotional challenge. †Significant difference (P < 0.05) between emotional challenges. NS not significant between emotional challenges
