The autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction has been well described in schizophrenia
(SZ), a severe mental disorder. Nevertheless, the coupling between the ANS and central …

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder associated with a significantly increased
cardiovascular mortality rate. However, the underlying mechanisms leading to this …

The multivariate analysis of coupling pathways within physiological (sub) systems focusing
on identifying healthy and diseased conditions. In this study, we investigated a part of the …

Objective: The new interdisciplinary field of network physiology is increasingly becoming a
focus of interest in medicine. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction is well described …

Because fetal gas exchange takes place via the maternal placenta, there has been growing
interests in investigating the patterns and directions of maternal-fetal cardiac coupling to …

The objective of the present scientific research was to develop a bio-monitoring platform for
the supervision of personnel working in the critical infrastructure tested in a laboratory based …

Maternal psycho-physiological activities affect the fetal heart rate and heart rate variability.
However, directions and patterns of maternal and fetal heartbeat coupling are still poorly …

Partial directed coherence (PDC), which is capable of estimating directed brain networks in
the frequency domain, has been widely used in various physiological recordings such as …

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most common causes of death; however, the early
detection of patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains an issue. The aim …

Impaired heart rate-and respiratory regulatory processes as a sign of an autonomic
dysfunction seems to be obviously present in patients suffering from schizophrenia. Since …
