Active tactile discrimination is coupled with and modulated by the cardiac cycle

Alejandro Galvez-Pol, Pavandeep Kaur Virdee, Javier Villacampa, James Morvan Kilner

The paper shows that active tactile discrimination is modulated by the cardiac cycle, with touches initiated during diastole lasting longer due to higher perceptual sensitivity.

Relationship between cardiac cycle and the timing of actions during action execution and observation

Eleanor R. Palser, J. Glass, Aikaterini Fotopoulou, James Morvan Kilner

This study shows that heartbeats are timed to movements during both action execution and observation, revealing a phasic relationship between cardiac cycles and movement timing in individuals and observers.
