Modulation of Autonomous Nervous System activity by gyrosonic stimulation

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

A novel audio binaural stimulus that generates rotational perceptions of sound movement in brain at a particular predetermined frequency is referred as gyrosonics. The influence of gyrosonics on autonomic nervous system of healthy subjects has been examined by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV) in time- and frequency- domain. The M-lagged Poincare plot shows that the parameters SD1, SD2 and ratio SD12 (SD1/SD2) increases with lagged number M, and M-dependence is well described by Pade' approximant χ1+βM1+γMχ\frac{1+βM}{1+γM} where values of χχ, ββ and γ γ depend on parameters SD1,SD2 and SD12. The values of these parameters for different M are augmented after gyrosonic stimulation. The slope and magnitude of curvature of SD1 and SD12 vs M plot increase considerably due to stimulation. The DFA analysis exhibits decrease in value of exponent αα due to stimulation. This stimulation results slower Heart rate, higher values of the standard deviation SD and the root-mean squared successive differences (RMSSD) in RR-interval. The spectral power of both low (LF) - and high (HF) - frequency go up due to the stimulation. The results suggest an improvement of the sympatho-vagal balance due to this novel audio stimulus.
