Brain-heart interactions underlying differential recovery after transient systemic anoxia

This study investigates brain-heart interactions during systemic anoxia and finds that coupling between cardiac parasympathetic activity and high-frequency brain signals predicts survival after resuscitation.

Imagined movement modulates cardiac-cortico-cortical and cardiac-cortico-cerebellar oscillatory networks

This study shows that motor imagery modulates cardiac-cortical and cerebellar networks, linking brain-heart interactions to motor learning and performance.

Linking heartbeats with the cortical network dynamics involved in self-social touch distinction

The paper quantifies how cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic activities couple with brain connectivity during self and social touch, revealing distinct patterns in frontoparietal networks and frequency bands.

Robust and time-resolved estimation of cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic indices

This paper introduces a robust estimator for time-resolved cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic indices using HR and HRV dynamics, outperforming standard spectral methods.

Modeling the time-resolved modulations of cardiac activity in rats: A study on pharmacological autonomic stimulation

This study develops a method to estimate time-resolved sympathetic and parasympathetic modulations in rat cardiac dynamics, validated against standard LF and HF measures.

Measuring Neuronal Avalanches to inform Brain-Computer Interfaces

This study uses neuronal avalanches to improve brain-computer interfaces by showing their task-specific differences can be decoded better than current methods.

Functional disconnection of associative cortical areas predicts performance during BCI learning

This study shows that increased task-related activity and reduced connectivity between non-targeted brain regions predict better performance during BCI learning.
