In this paper the main objective is to quantify and compare the instantaneous value of heart rate for normal breathing patterns during Meditation and Non Meditation conditions. This paper involves Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique for the analysis of the heart rate variability patterns during the meditative and non meditative states. The analysis is divided into three stages i.e. data acqu...

1. Heart rate variability is modulated by multiple control systems, including autonomic and hormonal systems. Long-term variability, i.e. the very low-frequency band of the power spectra, has been postulated to reflect thermoregulatory vasomotor control, based upon thermal entrainment experiments. However, the relationship between thermoregulatory responses (vasoconstriction and shivering) and ...

In this paper, we have proposed vocalization of heart rate variability (HRV) as a perceptual analysis tool. We adapted a phonation-production model to encode external signals and generate audible representations of them. HRV changes, caused by induced perturbations to the autonomous nervous system, could be perceived on vocalized HRV. Keywords— Heart rate variability, voice perturbations, voice...

We present algorithm for Heart Rate detection based on Short-Term Autocorrelation Center Clipping method. This algorithm is dedicated for biological signal detection, electrocardiogram, in noisy environment with lot of artifacts. Using this algorithm is also possible detect the R pointers in the PQRST complex of the ECG signal. In this paper the new implementation of the heart rate variability ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Heart rate (HR) can appear static and regular at rest, during exercise or recovery after exercise. However, HR is constantly adjusted due to factors such as breathing, blood pressure control, thermoregulation and the renin-angiotensin system, leading to a more dynamic response that can be quantified using HRV (heart rate variability). HRV is defined as the deviation in time b...

The heart rate variability (HRV) signal carries important information about the systems controlling the heat rate, mainly elicited by autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) controls. The analysis of HRV signal with existing linear techniques based on fast Fourier transform and autoregressive model have the disadvantages of lower sensitivity and positive predictive value of <...

BACKGROUND Measurements of heart rate variability (HRV) are increasingly used as markers of cardiac autonomic activity. AIM To examine circadian variation in heart rate and HRV in children. SUBJECTS A total of 57 healthy infants and children, aged 2 months to 15 years, underwent ambulatory 24 hour Holter recording. Monitoring was also performed on five teenagers with diabetes mellitus and s...
