Table 1.
Demographic distribution of participants for data subsets in the live concert setting, before removal any participants.
Questionnaire = clicker and questionnaire. Cognitive Tests = clicker, questionnaire and cognitive tests. Response ranges for Hours of activity, socializing and listening to music were translated into a single integer before averaging, in this case the high end of the range.
