• Gratitude and Subjective Wellbeing: A Proposal of Two Causal Frameworks (2017, background): “RSA serves as a measure of parasympathetic activity and vagal control over the heart, and it has been suggested as a marker of stress and health (Thayer et al. 2012).”
• Heart Rate Variability and Cardiac Vagal Tone in Psychophysiological Research – Recommendations for Experiment Planning, Data Analysis, and Data Reporting (2017, background): “But first of all, we need to understand the concepts of tonic or phasic HRV which are recognized to be important in terms of adaptation (Porges, 2007; Thayer et al., 2012).”
• The Varieties of Self-Transcendent Experience (2017, background): “The vagus nerve is activated during self-transcendent positive emotions like awe, compassion, gratitude, and love, suggesting a potential mechanism underlying STEs (Kok et al., 2013; Kok & Fredrickson, 2010; Porges, 2007; Thayer et al., 2012).”
• Use of Virtual Reality for the Evaluation of Human-Robot Interaction Systems in Complex Scenarios (2018, background): “To this end, heart rate was measured, since heart rate variability (HRV) is known to be influenced by cognitive processing and mental workload [12]–[18].”
• Stress and Heart Rate Variability: A Meta-Analysis and Review of the Literature (2018, background): “242 Psychiatry Investig 2018;15(3):235-245 Stress and Heart Rate Variability”
• Brain-gut interactions in inflammatory bowel disease. (2013, background): “Increased inflammatory markers [e.g., C reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6] are associated with decreased parasympathetic activity (decreased HRV), indicating that the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway counter-regulates inflammation (38).”
• Association between heart rate variability and fluctuations in resting-state functional connectivity (2012, methodology): “With regard to the latter, this work differs from and extends previous neuroimaging literature (reviewed in Thayer et al., 2012) by considering fluctuations of HRV under resting-state conditions rather than external manipulations, and by examining functional connectivity in addition to (and in…”
