Replication Data for: Taste dysfunction after COVID-19 — analysis with functional near-infrared spectroscopy

The aim of this study was to investigate differences in functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) recordings between convalescent COVID-19 patients and healthy control group. After preliminary visual analysis, the highest signals were recorded for two groups of channels: channels 14, 21, 28, 29, and 30, and channels 45, 46, 47, 48, and 49. Mean values were calculated for each group of channels across five replicates and the amplitude of changes in oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) concentration in the cerebral cortex was analyzed. The absorption spectra of oxyHb and deoxyhemoglobin (deoxyHb) for: convalescent COVID-19 patients “rest” (Fig.1.), convalescent COVID-19 patients “ taste stimulation” (Fig.2), healthy control group “rest” (Fig.3.), healthy control group “ taste stimulation” (Fig.4.) Excel data.

本研究旨在探究新冠康复患者与健康对照组的功能近红外光谱(fNIRS)记录差异。经初步视觉分析后，观测到两组通道的信号强度最高，分别为通道14、21、28、29、30，以及通道45、46、47、48、49。随后针对每组通道的五次重复实验数据计算均值，并分析大脑皮层内氧合血红蛋白(oxyHb)浓度的变化幅度。本数据集包含以下场景下氧合血红蛋白与去氧血红蛋白(deoxyHb)的吸收光谱的Excel格式数据：新冠康复患者“静息状态”（图1）、新冠康复患者“味觉刺激”（图2）、健康对照组“静息状态”（图3）、健康对照组“味觉刺激”（图4）。
