Phasic heart rate response in virtual environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heart rate responses induced by motor imagery were investigated in 4 subjects in a series of experiments with a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). The goal of the BCI experiment was either to control a bar on a PC monitor or to move forward within a virtual environment (VE). In the first case all subjects displayed a HR decrease during motor imagery in the order of 2 – 5 %. The thought-based control of VE resulted in a heart rate increase in 2 subjects and a heart rate decrease in the other 2 subjects. The heart rate acceleration in the VE is interpreted as effect of mental effort and motivation.

Investigating the Effects of Embodiment on Presence in Stressful Immersive Virtual Environments using Physiological Monitoring
This paper presents an experiment using physiological monitoring of heart rate and galvanic skin response to investigate the effects of a fully tracked human avatar representation on presence in immersive virtual environments (IVEs). The experiments will compare participants’ physiological reactions in a high fidelity virtual replica of the room occupied and their reactions to a stressful model...
متن کاملEffect of locus ceruleus phasic electrical stimulation on responses of barrel cortical cells to controlled mechanical displacement in rats
Behavioral and electrophysiological evidences have shown that locus ceruleus (LC) is involved in different tasks including modulation of sensory processing and shift of attention. In the present study, single unit responses of barrel cortical cells was recorded following controlled mechanical displacement of the principal and peripheral vibrissae in adult rats (100 trials of 200 µm deflection f...
متن کاملAn Investigation into Physiological Responses in Virtual Environments: An Objective Measurement of Presence
Abstrac t. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between subjective ratings of presence and physiological responses to a virtual environment. To measure subjective presence, Immersion, Presence, and Realism questionnaires were used. As measures of physiological response, heart rate and skin resistance readings were acquired. Seventytwo participants (36.4±15.5 years of ag...
متن کاملAge differences in high frequency phasic heart rate variability and performance response to increased executive function load in three executive function tasks
The current study examines similarity or disparity of a frontally mediated physiological response of mental effort among multiple executive functioning tasks between children and adults. Task performance and phasic heart rate variability (HRV) were recorded in children (6 to 10 years old) and adults in an examination of age differences in executive functioning skills during periods of increased...
متن کاملBrenda K. Wiederhold,
The effects of varying levels of immersion in virtual reality environments on participantÕs heart rate, respiration rate, peripheral skin temperature, and skin resistance levels were examined. Subjective reports of presence were also noted. Participants were presented with a virtual environment of an airplane flight both as seen from a twodimensional computer screen and as seen from within a he...
