Brain–Heart Interaction During Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation

ObjectivesTranscutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) modulates brain activity and heart function. The induced parasympathetic predominance leads to an increase of heart rate variability (HRV). Knowledge on the corresponding cortical activation pattern is, however, scarce. We hypothesiz...
