This procedure aims to standardize the methodology in experiments conducted within a hypobaric chamber such as comparing normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia. This is important because current understanding of relationships between neurophysiological activity, and cerebrovascular and cardiorespiratory responses under varying environmental conditions remains limited. This procedure combines simultaneous neurophysiological, cardiorespiratory and cerebrovascular evaluations, allowing a comprehensive understanding of electro-neurophysiological activity. Our protocol requires an hour and a half of equipment setup, 1\u20131.5 hours of participant set-up, and 30 minutes of experimental data collection. Since multiple simultaneous physiological recordings, including EEG in this environment, can be fraught with pitfalls, we also provide practical considerations for experimental design and recording setup. Advanced knowledge of hypobaric chamber operation is required, alongside expertise in EEG and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography. Following our procedure one will acquire simultaneous recordings of neurophysiological, cerebrovascular and cardiorespiratory data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0312622","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,24]],"date-time":"2024-10-24T17:54:04Z","timestamp":1729792444000},"page":"e0312622","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A protocol to simultaneously examine cardiorespiratory, cerebrovascular and neurophysiological responses inside a hypobaric chamber"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1569-3933","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Evan A.","family":"Hutcheon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sherri","family":"Ferguson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victoria E.","family":"Claydon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Urs","family":"Ribary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sam M.","family":"Doesburg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,24]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0312622.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"18021","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-023-45308-8","article-title":"Comparing neuronal oscillations during visual spatial attention orienting between normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia.","volume":"13","author":"EA Hutcheon","year":"2023","journal-title":"Sci Rep."},{"key":"pone.0312622.ref002","article-title":"Associations between spontaneous electroencephalogram oscillations and oxygen saturation across normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia","author":"EA Hutcheon","year":"2023","journal-title":"Hum Brain Mapp"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0312622.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0277364","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0277364","article-title":"The effects of normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia on cognitive performance and physiological responses: A crossover study.","volume":"17","author":"E Hohenauer","year":"2022","journal-title":"PLOS ONE."},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0312622.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19570","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-23698-5","article-title":"Independent effects of acute normobaric hypoxia and hypobaric hypoxia on human physiology.","volume":"12","author":"AM Rosales","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sci Rep."},{"key":"pone.0312622.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"998665","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2022.998665","article-title":"Sex differences during a cold-stress test in normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia: A randomized controlled crossover study.","volume":"13","author":"E Hohenauer","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Physiol."},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0312622.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.3357\/AMHP.4421.2016","article-title":"Equivalent Air Altitude and the Alveolar Gas Equation","volume":"87","author":"J.
