A continuous measure of phasic electrodermal activity.
TL;DR: A deconvolution approach is proposed, which separates SC data into continuous signals of tonic and phasic activity, which shows a zero baseline, and overlapping SCRs are represented by predominantly distinct, compact impulses showing an average duration of less than 2 s.

The Autonomic Nervous System and Heart Failure
Viorel G. Florea,Jay N. Cohn +1 more
TL;DR: The data supporting a contributory role of the autonomic functional alterations on the course of HF is analyzed, the techniques used to assess autonomic nervous system activity are reviewed, the evidence for clinical effectiveness of pharmacological and device interventions, and the potential future role of autonomics nervous system modifiers in the management of this syndrome are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic neural control of integrated cardiovascular function: insights from measurement of human sympathetic nerve activity.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that individual variability in sympathetic nerve activity is important to the ultimate understanding of these integrated physiological mechanisms in human cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology.

Dynamic coupling between the central and autonomic nervous systems during sleep: A review.
Massimiliano de Zambotti,John Trinder,Alessandro Silvani,Ian M. Colrain,Ian M. Colrain,Fiona C. Baker,Fiona C. Baker +6 more
TL;DR: Reviewing fluctuations in ANS activity in association with CNS‐defined sleep stages and cycles, and with phasic cortical events during sleep, reveals a dynamic organization of integrated physiological networks during sleep and indicates how multiple factors affect “CNS‐ANS coupling”.

Smart environment architecture for emotion detection and regulation.
Antonio Fernández-Caballero,Arturo Martínez-Rodrigo,José Manuel Pastor,José Carlos Castillo,Elena Lozano-Monasor,María T. López,Roberto Zangróniz,José Miguel Latorre,Alicia Fernández-Sotos +8 more
TL;DR: An architecture as a proof-of-concept for emotion detection and regulation in smart health environments to detect the patient's emotional state by analysing his/her physiological signals, facial expression and behaviour and provides the best-tailored actions in the environment to regulate these emotions towards a positive mood when possible.

Sympathetic neural mechanisms in obstructive sleep apnea.
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with obstructive sleep apnea have high sympathetic activity when awake, with further increases in blood pressure and sympathetic activity during sleep, which are attenuated by treatment with CPAP.

Somatosensory, proprioceptive, and sympathetic activity in human peripheral nerves
Journal ArticleDOI
Sympathetic-Nerve Activity during Sleep in Normal Subjects
TL;DR: REM sleep is associated with profound sympathetic activation in normal subjects, possibly linked to changes in muscle tone and the hemodynamic and sympathetic changes during REM sleep could play a part in triggering ischemic events in patients with vascular disease.

Sympathetic overactivity in patients with chronic renal failure.
Richard L. Converse,Tage N. Jacobsen,Robert D. Toto,Charles M.T. Jost,Frank Cosentino,Fetnat M. Fouad-Tarazi,Ronald G. Victor,Ronald G. Victor +7 more
TL;DR: Chronic renal failure may be accompanied by reversible sympathetic activation, which appears to be mediated by an afferent signal arising in the failing kidneys.

Unmyelinated tactile afferents signal touch and project to insular cortex
Håkan Olausson,Yves Lamarre,H. Backlund,H. Backlund,Chantal Morin,B.G. Wallin,Göran Starck,Sven Ekholm,Irina A. Strigo,K. Worsley,A B Vallbo,M.C. Bushnell +11 more
TL;DR: The authors found that activation of unmyelinated tactile (CT) afferents produced a faint sensation of pleasant touch, which may underlie emotional, hormonal and affiliative responses to skin-to-skin contact between individuals.
