Sorry I'm late to this discussion. Terrific talk! There is so much discussion of HRV right now, and didn't realize there are so many ways the analysis could go wrong. Lots of things to look out for when analyzing results. Thank you for this!
Thank you for the video! It was a really nice primer. As I am preparing to analyze some heart rate data at the moment, you video and papers will come in handy. Now a practical question. What are your thoughts on currently available HRV-analysis packages for Python, i.e. PyHRV or HeartPy? In terms of usability, things they can do, and overall impression. Have you or your colleagues used those, and, if so, would you recommend them?
Great talk Daniel! For anyone interested in learning more about HRV, a Harvard professor just ran a seminar that our nonprofit hosted. You can find the video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZOuqTOyqc4.html Enjoy!
Thanks, Doc. Is the HRV reading from a person wearing a pacemaker accurate? Any recommendations on setting a pacemaker so that to achieve the benefits of the Parasympathetic response?
It would not be an accurate measure of parasympathetic nervous system activity because the pacemaker is determining the beat-to-beat interval, but not the parasympathetic nervous system. I can’t provide any recommendations regarding pacemaker settings
Thank you for this video. It was very instructive and helped me to better understand the linear frequency domain variables. I am starting to study the effect of physical exercise in HRV. I managed to collect data from pilot studies but I still have some hard times to process it, specially regarding the ectopic points filters. Do you have any tip of article or video explaining how can I choose the optimal filters and/or make the manual filtering as you showed in this video?
Great presentation, Daniel! Is there a way for a drummer to monitor both breath rate and heart rate from one's studio? Seeking deeper biofeedback data than say, Heart Math. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! There are tools available to monitor both heart rate and respiration (e.g., a belt that goes around your chest) but the body movement associated with drumming would make any data very difficult to interpret
Could you clarify something? Early in this talk, I believe you say that you did your PhD using a watch. Then later in your talk you say that you must clean your data. However, I may be wrong, but I don't think you can clean the data that comes out of a watch.
Wonderful presentation! I’m trying to educate myself on this because I keep getting low HRV levels (20-35 ms) and barely any dips in my heart rate while I sleep according to my Apple Watch. Should I bring this up to my doctor? Or just keep monitoring it?
There is an amazing talk by Harvard professor Dr. Ahn on HRV which our nonprofit just hosted. You can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZOuqTOyqc4.html
