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.

This study investigates brain-heart-gut electrophysiological interactions in humans, revealing a coordinated multi-directional network at infra-slow timescales.

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

The paper investigates cardiac-cerebrovascular interactions in elderly individuals, finding that constrained ventilation and impaired cerebrovascular control are associated with elevated cardiac sympathetic activity.

The paper investigates autonomic modulations in cardiac dynamics during social touch, self-touch, and object-touch, finding greater sympathetic decrease and parasympathetic increase during social touch.

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.

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

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

This study examines brain-heart interplay during mental stress, finding dynamic fluctuations in sympathetic and parasympathetic modulations and bidirectional interactions between EEG and autonomic activities.

This study examines how heart rate, breathing rate, and frontal fNIRS data affect interoception during heartbeat counting tasks, finding that these factors influence physiological and neural dynamics.

This study shows that nonlinear analysis of high-frequency fNIRS data reveals distinct neurovascular representations compared to linear analysis, highlighting the importance of considering nonlinear effects in hemodynamic responses.

The paper investigates the functional brain-heart interplay during emotional processing using EEG and ECG data from healthy participants, showing that sympathovagal activity initiates and sustains emotional responses.
