“…For instance Iwanaga, Kobayashi and Kawasaki (2005) investigated the impact of repetitive exposure to music on heart rate variability. After exposing participants to three conditions (no music, sedative music and excitative music) four times, the researchers found that HF component activity was highest for the sedative music and LF component activity was highest for the no music condition.…”

Music is a powerful stimulus and has been found to influence cardiovascular activity, including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration and heart rate variability. Previous research has used complex pieces of music which render it difficult to determine whether changes in a particular musical parameter are associated with the observed variations in cardiovascular activity. This study uses simple musical stimuli to overcome this issue, with the aim to investigate the effect of sudden changes in tempo on autonomic control of the heart. Heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity are measured in four experimental conditions. The musical background and health status of all participants are ascertained to explore individual differences in cardiovascular responses. Preliminary findings demonstrate that heart rate during the four conditions is mediated by prior exposure, gender and age at which an individual starts formal music training. Relationship between music and physiology is complex. This study concludes that more controlled and simple musical stimuli can be used to examine the impact of music on autonomic control of the heart. Heart rate. Blood pressure. Respiration.

“…The spectral powers (ms 2 ) of these 2 bands from the 1-min samples were averaged over 5 min. In psychophysiological studies, heart rate variability has been used as an index of the automatic nervous system, the LF and the LF/HF ratio as measures of the sympathetic system, and the HF as a measure of the parasympathetic system (e.g., Iwanaga, Kobayashi, & Kawasaki, 2005;Landen et al 2004). However, the interpretation of heart rate variability is controversial and the LF or the LF/HF ratio has been questioned as general indices of the sympathetic system (Berntson et al 1997).…”

This study investigates whether healthy women who experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) show attenuated physiological responses to acute stress. After the initial screening involving daily records of PMS symptoms was conducted for a group of 39 women, 14 women (7, Normal group; 7, PMS group) gave their informed consent to participate in this experiment, which encompassed both the premenstrual and postmenstrual phases of their menstrual cycles. In the experiment, psychophysiological responses to a stressor (public speaking) were evaluated in terms of psychological states, heart rate, heart rate variability, and salivary cortisol levels. While both the groups showed significant psychological stress responses to the stressor, the low frequency (LF)/high frequency (HF) ratio based on heart rate variability was significantly lower in the PMS group. These results suggest a dysregulation of the stress responses in healthy women with PMS.

“…In recent years, more direct approaches have been applied for certain kinds of art therapy, such as music therapy, to distinguish the mechanisms of the therapies on nervous system physiology [7][8][9]. In these studies, heart rate variability (HRV) has been used to gauge activation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems [7].…”
