We contribute to shed light on the complex relationship between #emotions & the nervous systems (or #MindBrainBody coupling) under naturalistic stimulation. 🌟 Stay tuned for the full paper & we’re very happy about feedback and discussions! 💭#neuroscience

🚀Happy our preprint is out!🧠🫀🥽Using immersive #VR, we investigated how our emotional experience relates to the interaction between #brain & #heart activities.

However, whole-brain exploratory analyses revealed a temporo-occipital cluster, where higher EA was linked to decreased 🧠➡️🫀 brain-to-heart (gamma→HF-HRV) and increased 🫀➡️🧠heart-to-brain (LF-HRV→gamma) information flow.
