Global study of long term heart rhythm synchronization in groups.

Heart rhythm measurements over time reflect important elements of Autonomic Nervous System dynamics. Synchronization among the heart rhythms of multiple participants has been observed, but this study uses the first global dataset collected that measures synchronization at several locations across the globe continuously for multiple weeks. For 15 days, 104 participants located in California (USA), Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, and England underwent continuous ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring.
