In conjunction with the Women in Neuroscience Symposium 2022, Dr. Meha Fatima, Assistant professor at the Dow University of Health Sciences, Pakistan, will give a complete lecture on the Introduction to the electrophysiological and methodological aspects of assessing heart-brain coherence, through theoretical lectures and hands-on session.
Heart mind is a relatively new and emerging phenomenon. Various laboratories are rigorously studying it and its physiological importance can be observed in stress states, ability to cope with stress, response to alternative therapies, deep relaxation states, and sleep. Intrinsic cardiac ganglia are the mainstay of the heart-mind. Electrophysiological signals from intrinsic cardiac ganglia to the brain can be determined by heart-beat evoked potentials (HEP). HEP can be obtained using data from electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG). The current Workshop aims to introduce participants to the scientific applications and electrophysiological mechanisms of heart-brain connection. The workshop is also intended to orient participants to the data collection procedure for obtaining EEG and ECG simultaneously for further analysis to obtain heart-beat evoked potentials.
