Abstract
OBJECTIVES an evaluation of Principal Dynamic Mode (PDM) and Orthogonal Subspace Projection (OSP) methods to characterize the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) response in three different hyperbaric environments was performed. METHODS ECG signals were recorded in two different stages (baseline and immersion) in three different hyperbaric environments: (a) inside a hyperbaric chamber, (b) in a controlled sea immersion, (c) in a real reservoir immersion. Time-domain parameters were extracted from the RR series of the ECG. From the Heart Rate Variability signal (HRV), classic Power Spectral Density (PSD), PDM (a non-linear analysis of HRV which is able to separate sympathetic and parasympathetic activities) and OSP (an analysis of HRV which is able to extract the respiratory component) methods were used to assess the ANS response. RESULTS PDM and OSP parameters follows the same trend when compared to the PSD ones for the hyperbaric chamber dataset. Comparing the three hyperbaric scenarios, significant differences were found: i) heart rate decreased and RMSSD increased in the hyperbaric chamber and the controlled dive, but they had the opposite behavior during the uncontrolled dive; ii) power in the OSP respiratory component was lower than power in the OSP residual component in cases a and c; iii) PDM and OSP methods showed a significant increase in sympathetic activity during both dives, but parasympathetic activity increased only during the uncontrolled dive. CONCLUSIONS PDM and OSP methods could be used as an alternative measurement of ANS response instead of the PSD method. OSP results indicate that most of the variation in the heart rate variability cannot be described by changes in the respiration, so changes in ANS response can be assigned to other factors. Time-domain parameters reflect vagal activation in the hyperbaric chamber and in the controlled dive because of the effect of pressure. In the uncontrolled dive, sympathetic activity seems to be dominant, due to the effects of other factors such as physical activity, the challenging environment, and the influence of breathing through the scuba mask during immersion. In sum, a careful description of the changes in all the possible factors that could affect the ANS response between baseline and immersion stages in hyperbaric environments is needed for better interpretation of the results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) refers to heart rate oscillations synchronous with respiration, and it is one of the major representations of cardiorespiratory coupling. Its strength has been suggested as a biomarker to monitor different conditions, and diseases. Some approaches have been proposed to quantify the RSA, but it is unclear which one performs best in specific scenarios. The main objective of this study is to compare seven state-of-the-art methods for RSA quantification using data generated with a model proposed to simulate, and control the RSA. These methods are also compared, and evaluated on a real-life application, for their ability to capture changes in cardiorespiratory coupling during sleep. METHODS A simulation model is used to create a dataset of heart rate variability, and respiratory signals with controlled RSA, which is used to compare the RSA estimation approaches. To compare the methods objectively in real-life applications, regression models trained on the simulated data are used to map the estimates to the same measurement scale. Results, and conclusion: RSA estimates based on cross entropy, time-frequency coherence, and subspace projections showed the best performance on simulated data. In addition, these estimates captured the expected trends in the changes in cardiorespiratory coupling during sleep similarly. SIGNIFICANCE An objective comparison of methods for RSA quantification is presented to guide future analyses. Also, the proposed simulation model can be used to compare existing, and newly proposed RSA estimates. It is freely accessible online.

Abstract
The control mechanisms and implications of heart rate variability (HRV) under the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) modulation remain poorly understood. Here, we establish the HR model/HRV responder using a nonlinear process derived from Newton's second law in stochastic self-restoring systems through dynamic analysis of physiological properties. We conduct model validation by testing, predictions, simulations, and sensitivity and time-scale analysis. We confirm that the outputs of the HRV responder can be accepted as the real data-generating process. Empirical studies show that the dynamic control mechanism of heart rate is a stable fixed point, rather than a strange attractor or transitions between a fixed point and a limit cycle; HR slope (amplitude) may depend on the ratio of cardiac disturbance or metabolic demand mean (standard deviation) to myocardial electrical resistance (PNS-SNS activity). For example, when metabolic demands remain unchanged, HR amplitude depends on PNS to SNS activity; when autonomic activity remains unchanged, HR amplitude during resting reflects basal metabolism. HR parameter alterations suggest that age-related decreased HRV, ultrareduced HRV in heart failure, and ultraelevated HRV in ST segment alterations refer to age-related decreased basal metabolism, impaired myocardial metabolism, and SNS hyperactivity triggered by myocardial ischemia, respectively.

Abstract
The main aim of this paper was to characterize the Autonomic Nervous System response in hyperbaric environments using electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse-photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. To that end, 26 subjects were introduced into a hyperbaric chamber and five stages with different atmospheric pressures (1 atm; descent to 3 and 5 atm; ascent to 3 and 1 atm) were recorded. Respiratory information was extracted from the ECG and PPG signals and a combined respiratory rate was studied. This information was also used to analyze Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Pulse Rate Variability (PRV). The database was cleaned by eliminating those cases where the respiratory rate dropped into the low frequency band (LF: 0.04-0.15 Hz) and those in which there was a discrepancy between the respiratory rates estimated using the ECG and PPG signals. Classical temporal and frequency indices were calculated in such cases. The ECG results showed a time-related dependency, with the heart rate and sympathetic markers (normalized power in LF and LF/HF ratio) decreasing as more time was spent inside the hyperbaric environment. A dependence between the atmospheric pressure and the parasympathetic response, as reflected in the high-frequency band power (HF: 0.15-0.40 Hz), was also found, with power increasing with atmospheric pressure. The combined respiratory rate also reached a maximum in the deepest stage; thus, highlighting a significant difference between this stage and the first one. The PPG data gave similar findings and also allowed the oxygen saturation to be computed; therefore, we propose the use of this signal for future studies in hyperbaric environments.

Abstract
Analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used for characterization of autonomic nervous system. As high frequency (HF, known as the respiratory-related) component of HR, overlaps with the typical low frequency (LF) band when the respiratory rate is low, a reference signal for HF variations would help in better discriminating the LF and HF components of HR. The present study proposes a model for time-varying separation of HRV components as well as estimation of HRV parameters using respiration information. An autoregressive moving average with exogenous input (ARMAX) model of HRV is considered with a parametrically modeled respiration signal as the input. The model parameters are estimated using smoothed extended Kalman filtering. Results for different synthetic data show that our proposed joint model outperforms the classical AR modeling in estimation of HRV parameters especially in the case of low respiration rate. In addition, the possibility of using pulse transit time (PTT) and the amplitude of photoplethysmogram (PPGamp) as surrogates of the input respiratory signal has been investigated. To this end, electrocardiogram (ECG), PPG and respiration have been recorded from 21 healthy subjects (10 males and 11 females, mean age 27.5 ± 4.1) during normal and deep respiration. Results show that indeed PTT and PPGamp offer good potential to be used as references for respiratory-related variations of HR, thus avoiding additional devices for recording respiration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quantitative measurement of the dynamic changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) during and after exercise has great significance in clinical, sports training and other fields. A consecutive ultra-short-term (30 s, UST) heart rate variability (HRV) method was proposed to track the exercise-induced autonomic control of heart rate (HR). APPROACH Twenty-three healthy young men participated in the study. The first four stages of the Modified Bruce Protocol (S0-S3) were performed. Six HRV indices, i.e. HF (power of high frequency ranged from 0.15 to 0.4 Hz), LF (power of low frequency ranged from 0.04 to 0.15 Hz), LF/HF, SD1 and SD2 of Poincaré plot, and SD2/SD1, over 30 s were calculated every 5 s over 3 min RR time series during, as well as after, exercise. MAIN RESULTS The results showed that during exercise, SD1, SD2, HF and LF dropped down quickly and tended to stabilize. Particularly, SD1 and HF showed a slight upward trend in the lower three stages while the declining time of SD2 in S3 lasted longer than the other stages. SD2/SD1 increased rapidly first and then decreased slowly. The values of SD2/SD1 in S3 remained higher than those in the other stages. After exercise, SD1, SD2, HF and LF kept increasing first and then declined slowly or fluctuated with decaying amplitudes. SD2/SD1 increased initially, then decreased and fluctuated slightly. SIGNIFICANCE Compared with the indices in frequency domain, the Poincaré indices were more sensitive and accurate in UST measurement of ANS during exercise. The results demonstrated that the UST method could characterize the dynamic changing tendency of ANS during and after exercise and quantify the differences of changes in ANS induced by exercise with different intensities. In particular, the vagal branch functioned dominantly in controlling HR in S0 but the effect of the sympathetic branch on HR enhanced with the increase of exercise intensity. In addition, the transient changes of ANS related with the sudden onset of exercise could also be reflected, despite perhaps being limited by the computation window width to some extent. Thus, the consecutive UST Poincaré indices could provide a feasible and simple method to measure quantitatively the exercise-induced dynamic changes in ANS.

Abstract
The work presented in this paper aims at assessing human emotion recognition by means of the analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV) with varying spectral bands based on respiratory frequency (RF). Three specific emotional states are compared corresponding to calm-neutral state (Relax), positive elicitation (Joy) and negative elicitation (Fear). Standard HRV analysis in time and frequency domain is performed. In order to better characterize the HRV component related to respiratory sinus arrhythmia, the high frequency (HF) band is centered on RF. Results reveal that the power content in low band (PLF), the normalized power content in HF band (PHFn) and the sympathovagal ratio (LF/HF) can be suitable indices to distinguish Relax and Joy. Mean heart rate and RF are significantly different between Relax and Fear. Different HRV indices show significant differences between Joy and Fear, such as pNN50, PLF, PHFn and LF/HF. Statistical analysis of HRV indices with HF centered in the RF results in a lower p-value than the ones with a HF standard band.

Abstract
Respiratory rate and heart rate variability (HRV) are studied as stress markers in a database of young healthy volunteers subjected to acute emotional stress, induced by a modification of the Trier Social Stress Test. First, instantaneous frequency domain HRV parameters are computed using time-frequency analysis in the classical bands. Then, the respiratory rate is estimated and this information is included in HRV analysis in two ways: 1) redefining the high-frequency (HF) band to be centered at respiratory frequency; 2) excluding from the analysis those instants where respiratory frequency falls within the low-frequency (LF) band. Classical frequency domain HRV indices scarcely show statistical differences during stress. However, when including respiratory frequency information in HRV analysis, the normalized LF power as well as the LF/HF ratio significantly increase during stress ( p-value 0.05 according to the Wilcoxon test), revealing higher sympathetic dominance. The LF power increases during stress, only being significantly different in a stress anticipation stage, while the HF power decreases during stress, only being significantly different during the stress task demanding attention. Our results support that joint analysis of respiration and HRV obtains a more reliable characterization of autonomic nervous response to stress. In addition, the respiratory rate is observed to be higher and less stable during stress than during relax ( p-value 0.05 according to the Wilcoxon test) being the most discriminative index for stress stratification (AUC = 88.2 % ).

Abstract
The use of heart rate variability (HRV) parameters during exercise is not supported by appropriate reliability studies. In 80 healthy adults, ECG was recorded during three 6 min bouts of exercise, separated by 6 min of unloaded cycling. Two bouts were at a moderate intensity while the final bout was at a heavy exercise intensity. This protocol was repeated under the same conditions on three occasions, with a controlled start time (pre-determined at the first visit). Standard time and frequency domain indices of HRV were derived. Reliability was assessed by Bland–Altman plots, 95% limits of agreement and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). The sample size required to detect a mean difference ≥30% of the between-subject standard deviation was also estimated. There was no systematic change between days. All HRV parameters demonstrated a high degree of reproducibility during baseline (ICC range: 0.58–0.75), moderate (ICC: 0.58–0.85) and heavy intensity exercise (ICC range: 0.40–0.76). The reproducibility was slightly diminished during heavy intensity exercise relative to both unloaded baseline cycling and moderate exercise. This study indicates that HRV parameters can be reliably determined during exercise, and it underlines the importance of standardizing exercise intensity with regard to fitness levels if HRV is to be reliably determined.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) has been observed to decrease during anesthesia, but changes in HRV during loss and recovery of consciousness have not been studied in detail. In this study, HRV dynamics during low-dose propofol (N = 10) and dexmedetomidine (N = 9) anesthesia were estimated by using time-varying methods. Standard time-domain and frequency-domain measures of HRV were included in the analysis. Frequency-domain parameters like low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) component powers were extracted from time-varying spectrum estimates obtained with a Kalman smoother algorithm. The Kalman smoother is a parametric spectrum estimation approach based on time-varying autoregressive (AR) modeling. Prior to loss of consciousness, an increase in HF component power indicating increase in vagal control of heart rate (HR) was observed for both anesthetics. The relative increase of vagal control over sympathetic control of HR was overall larger for dexmedetomidine which is in line with the known sympatholytic effect of this anesthetic. Even though the inter-individual variability in the HRV parameters was substantial, the results suggest the usefulness of HRV analysis in monitoring dexmedetomidine anesthesia.

Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the promising directions for a simple and noninvasive way for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome detection (OSA). The interaction between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems on the HRV recordings, gives rise to several non-stationary components added to the signal. Aiming to improve the classifier accuracy for obstructive sleep apnoea detection, the use of more appropriated techniques for leading with non-stationarity and mixed dynamics, are needed. This work aims at searching a convenient training strategy of combining the feature set to be further fed in to the classifier, which should take into consideration the different dynamics in the HRV signal. Therefore, a set of the short-time features, extracted from a given HRV time-varying decomposition, and selected by spectral splitting is considered. Additionally, three methods of projection are used: none, simple, and multivariate. Finally, the different approaches are tested and compared, using k-nn and support vector machines (SVM) classifiers. Attained results show that using continuous wavelet transform with short-time features and multivariate projection, followed by a SVM classifier, allow to obtain a suitable OSA detection.

Abstract
In this paper, an approach for heart rate variability analysis during exercise stress testing is proposed based on the integral pulse frequency modulation (IPFM) model, where a time-varying threshold is included to account for the nonstationary mean heart rate. The proposed technique allows the estimation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulating signal using the methods derived for the IPFM model with constant threshold plus a correction, which is shown to be needed to take into account the time-varying mean heart rate. On simulations, this technique allows the estimation of the ANS modulation on the heart from the beat occurrence time series with lower errors than the IPFM model with constant threshold (1.1% ± 1.3% versus 15.0% ± 14.9%). On an exercise stress testing database, the ANS modulation estimated by the proposed technique is closer to physiology than that obtained from the IPFM model with constant threshold, which tends to overestimate the ANS modulation during the recovery and underestimate it during the initial rest.
