Hi, I am trying to identify the independent and dependent variables in the following experiment:
Two groups of patients (Epileptic and Normal) are exposed to varying wavelengths of light and their neural response is quantified and recorded.
I am using statistical analysis to find the wavelength at which the most significant difference between the Epileptic and Normal groups is found.
I thought that the condition of the patient (Epileptic or Normal) was the independent variable and the neural response was the dependent variable but I'm not sure whether to think of the wavelength as an independent variable or a control
