Autonomic nervous system reactivity to positive and negative mood induction: The role of acute psychological responses and frontal electrocortical activity
WJ Kop, SJ Synowski, ME Newell, LA Schmidt…�- Biological�…, 2011 - Elsevier
The differential effects of positive versus negative emotions on autonomic nervous system
activity are insufficiently understood. This study examined the role of acute mood responses
and central nervous system activity on heart rate variability (HRV) using 5-min event recall
tasks (happiness and anger recall) and a 5-min Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT) in 20
healthy individuals (mean age 25�4 years, 55% female). HRV was measured in high
frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) domains, and frontal brain activity using�…
