| HRV | This training focuses on Ultra-Short-Term and Short-Term Heart Rate Variability (UST HRV) measurement using time-series analysis options within AcqKnowledge software. HRV is the change in time intervals between successive cardiac cycles. Ultra-short heart rate variability refers to analysis of ECG segments that are shorter than 5 minutes, rather than 24-hour segments as used for standard HRV. Autonomic, cardiovascular, and respiratory system regulations operate at a faster time scale and contribute to these measurements. There are no clear guidelines for recording UST HRV, though time constraints have encouraged researchers to use shorter measurement durations for daily HRV monitoring. Both convenience and wearable technology are driving UST HRV usage.. | 23-09-21 | |
| Education & Teaching | Teaching Physiology: How to Engage Students in Lab Environments | We all learn by doing. The concepts of science become real when your lab is configured to allow students to collect signals from their own bodies.
