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.)
