Based on psychophysiological research, coherent heart-brain interaction can change afferent cardiac signal pattern sent to the brain. Accordingly, the present study aimed at facilitating the emotion-cognition interaction through HeartMath Institute self-regulated emotional techniques to investigate the efficacy of heart-brain coherence on reading anxiety reduction that significantly enhances at...

The vital sign monitoring through Impulse Radio Ultra-Wide Band (IR-UWB) radar provides continuous assessment of a patient's respiration and heart rates in a non-invasive manner. In this paper, IR UWB radar is used for monitoring respiration and the human heart rate. The breathing and heart rate frequencies are extracted from the signal reflected from the human body. A Kalman filter is applied ...

An important challenge in heart research is to make the relation between the features of external stimuli and heart activity. Olfactory stimulation is an important type of stimulation that affects the heart activity, which is mapped on Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Yet, no one has discovered any relation between the structures of olfactory stimuli and the ECG signal. This study investigates t...

The heart rate variation has been observed when analyzing the speech analysis of a person sitting at remote place. In the presented approach, 20 –30 years age group person’s speech is recorded using the common recording utility for testing purposes. The time duration for speech production is approximately 1 2 minutes. Further, the entropy, energy, power, mean, frequency, standard deviation and ...

purpose : the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab .   methods: this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were random...

introduction: several supra spinal areas such as rostral ventrolateral medulla (rvlm) area are involved in basic cardiovascular regulation. the kolliker— fuse nucleus (kf) is located in pons and is heavily connected with rvlm. the cardiovascular effect of kf nucleus has been shown and it is suggested that kf is involved in sympathetic vasomotor tone and basic cardiovascular regulation. therefor...

background: noise is one of the annoying agents in the environment and it is harmful agent in workplaces that its occurrence with work load, there are in many workstations. the aim of this study was to determine the combined effects of exposure to noise and work load on heart rate changes. methods: this cross-sectional study performed on 14 male students into climatic chamber in 2011.the mean ±...
