Follow the procedure on this site to record and measure change in heart rate (ECG) from a human after immersing in cold water. Next, design an experiement to identify the exact stimulus that evokes the change in heart rate (in beats per minute or BPM).
Subject will submerge face in cold water during breath holding (apnea).

View AllThe Mobita 32-Channel EEG recording system was used in research examining if physiological data can be used to predict truly random events that correspond to perceptual stimuli. Baumgart, et al. from the University of California Santa Barbara utilized a quantum random number generator (qRNG) to choose from three randomized conditions: light, sound, and no stimulus. […]
BIOPAC provides software and hardware that allow for research teams to record and analyze respiration activity in physiological experimentation. Here are a few notable studies in monitoring respiration and cardiovascular activity. The coupling between peripheral microcirculation and slow breathing: The purpose of this study was to investigate the coupling of breathing movements and microcirculatory blood […]
