Both faculty and graduate student researchers in the Human Interaction and Physiology Laboratory conduct interdisciplinary research examining the relationship between measures of heart rate variability, human interaction, and health. Measures of heart rate variability are obtained through Holter recording. Electrocardiogram recordings of heart rhythm are used to develop an understanding of the autonomic nervous system's influence during social engagement and interaction with objects. Behavioral coding and analysis is also completed in the lab using NOLDUS XT. Research is conducted with participants across the lifespan.
