    The Bond and Lader Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) monitored the subjective mood of each participant on 16 mood scales. Participants were asked to indicate on the VAS scale ranging from 0 to 100 mm about how they felt at the moment the scale was administered (example, alert/drowsy; calm/excited; content/tensed). The individual responses from the 16 mood scales were then combined to make three affective dimensions/subscales a) alertness (average of 9 items [total range 0 to 100, where each item is ordered so that higher scores indicated more alertness]), b) mood (average of 2 items [total range 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated elevated mood]), and c) calmness (average of 5 items [total range 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated more calmness]). Baseline is defined as the last available recording prior to dosing on Day 1.
