Alpha-rhythm stimulation using brain entrainment enhances heart rate variability in subjects with reduced HRV

Abstract

In the present research, we\rhave used the brain entrainment (BWE) treatment simultaneously recording time\rseries data of R-R intervals of the ECG during rest condition. In detail, we\rhave used alpha brain stimulation and we have found that it induces an enhancement\rof HRV, particularly in Total Variability and Vagal Modulation activities. The\rexperiment has been performed by us on ten subjects with age ranging from 20 to\r70 years old. The risk induced from low HRV is by this time well known in\rliterature. Therefore, the obtained result promises to be of valuable interest\rnot only in terms of the basic neurological investigation but also because it\rdelineates new possibilities in terms of clinical application.
