“…Heart rate is quantified as the number of beats per minute and regarded as an indirect measure of autonomic activity (Patel et al 2013). A quicker heart rate is considered to be a result of increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic activity, whereas a slower heart rate is considered to be a result of increased parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic activity (Patel et al 2013).…”

“…A quicker heart rate is considered to be a result of increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic activity, whereas a slower heart rate is considered to be a result of increased parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic activity (Patel et al 2013). Heart rate can be captured using photoplethysmography (PPG) or electrocardiograms (ECG) (Heathers 2013).…”

“…Blood pressure is conceptualised as the amount of cardiac force exerted on blood vessels in the body when blood is being pumped around the body (Charkoudian & Wallin 2014, Patel et al 2013). Blood pressure is expressed as two types: systolic blood pressure, which refers to the pressure in arteries when the heart contracts; and diastolic blood pressure, which refers to the pressure in arteries between heart beats (Charkoudian & Wallin 2014, Patel et al 2013.…”

Although the investigation of the impact of music on blood pressure has received considerably less interest than the impact of music on heart rate, there is evidence suggesting that systolic and diastolic blood pressures are sensitive to alterations in musical parameters.…”

“…Activity within the two subsystems has been found to be influenced by musical parameters, including tempo (Bernardi, Porta & Sleight 2006, van der Zwaag, Westerink & van den Broek 2011, rubato (Mikutta et al 2013) and dynamics (Bernardi et al 2009). Fluctuations in activity in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems can be quantified by capturing heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate, and by deriving heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity (Charkoudian & Wallin 2014, Patel et al 2013). …”

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.
