Network comparison methods detect temporal reorganization of psychophysiological integration invisible to conventional univariate analysis: Proof-of-concept using lunar-phase-timed measurements in elite athletes

Abstract

= 0.003). This proof-of-concept demonstrates that temporal measurements can exhibit systemic reorganization despite stable component means, resolving apparent contradictions between laboratory-detected physiological rhythms and field-based null findings. Temporal control measurements and multi-cycle replication are required to definitively attribute observed reorganization to lunar periodicity rather than generic temporal variation.
