Attempts were made to establish self-control of interbeat interval (IBI) and pulse transit time (PTT) by providing appropriate biofeedback information to volunteers at rest and during dynamic and isometric exercise. Product feedback (IBI X PTT) was found more reliable than simple heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) during dynamic exercise. It also produced greater increases in IBI and PTT than did habituation or relaxation under the same conditions. Product feedback was also superior to the use of other techniques at rest, but PTT feedback did not produce significant control of pressor responses during isometric exercise. Possible reasons for this failure are discussed. Preliminary results of feedback training given to 7 anginal patients suggest that such procedures might help to lower nitroglycerin consumption, decrease the frequency of anginal attacks and increase exercise tolerance.

More and more people quantify their sleep using wearables and are becoming obsessed in their pursuit of optimal sleep ("orthosomnia"). However, it is criticized that many of these wearables are giving inaccurate feedback and can even lead to negative daytime consequences. Acknowledging these facts, we here optimize our previously suggested sleep classification procedure in a new sample of 136 self-reported poor sleepers to minimize erroneous classification during ambulatory sleep sensing.

As cardiac vagal control is a hallmark of good health and self-regulatory capacity, researchers are seeking ways to increase vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) in an accessible and non-invasive way. Findings with transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) have been disappointing in this respect, as its effects on vmHRV are inconsistent at best. It has been speculated that combining taVNS with other established ways to increase vmHRV may produce synergistic effects.

Cardiac inter-beat intervals (IBIs) are considered to reflect autonomic functioning and self-regulatory abilities and are often investigated by traditional time- and frequency domain analyses. These analyses investigate IBI fluctuations across relatively long time series. The similarity graph algorithm is a nonlinear method that analyzes segments of IBI time series (i.

This study explores interoceptive attentiveness (IA) influence on autonomic reactivity related to pain and self-regulation during situations evoking physiological mirroring for pain. 20 participants observed face/hand, painful/non-painful stimuli in an individual versus social condition while the autonomic response was measured [Electrodermal activity, Pulse Volume Amplitude (PVA), and Heart Rate (HR)] was measured. The sample was divided into experimental (EXP) subjects, required to focus on their interoceptive correlates while observing the stimuli, and the control (CNT) group.

Objective: Maternal depression during gestation is an adverse factor in fetal brain development that manifests in later childhood behavioral problems. Fetal heart rate variability (FHRV) mediated by parasympathetic input is a marker of gestational nervous system development. Biological mediators of adverse effects of maternal depression may involve the mother's corticosteroids; however, links between depression, corticosteroids, and early nervous system development remain inconclusive.
