Description
Maud Vroemen, Anne Marsman, Therese van Amelsvoort, and Richel Lousberg test if heart rhythm spread tracks fast mood shifts in a 2026 study. Mood and heart pace are known to talk to each other. The team asked if that talk keeps up when mood flips in under a minute, as it can in a lab drill.
Eighty-two healthy adults viewed a charged image for 30 seconds, then pictured it with eyes shut for a minute. A first glad image came with higher rhythm spread than a first grim one. When the second image flipped the mood, the spread did not flip with it. It held at the first image's level through the mind's-eye phase.
