In this method, the intensity of the stimulus changes according to the patient's response.
Using the response unit or CoVAS the patient can control whether the temperature will
increase or decrease and to what extent. For an example graph and an explanation of the
method, refer to section 2.8.3, page 35.

CoVAS or Response Unit
Time before
sequence (sec)
The time interval before the first trial. Valid range: 0 to 600 (sec).
Baseline (°C)
Temperature from which each new stimulation sequence begins.
ATS: 10°C – 45°C
