Time-Resolved Brain-to-Heart Probabilistic Information Transfer Estimation Using Inhomogeneous Point-Process Models

Objective: The quantification of functional brain–heart interplay through the dynamics of the central and autonomic nervous systems may provide effective biomarkers for cognitive, emotional, and autonomic state changes. Despite several computational models were proposed to this end, none provides a directional estimation of such interplay in a time-resolved and probabilistic fashi...
