After looking at it again, I noticed we found a marginally significant increase in SAM arousal and not SAM valence. We…

There is potential evidence for tVNS stimulation increasing GABA since it has been found to increase short-interval intra-cortical inhibition, which has been linked to GABA. Building yourself a tVNS device can be…
