The insider’s job: Emotions and the heart-brain connections
Adrian Low
California Southern University, USA
Emotions are strong feelings that affect the mind, behavior and even relationships. When emotions are strong, they can
be detected in the changing pattern of our heart rhythms. On the heart rate variability biofeedback, emotions such as
frustration, scared, worried, angry or upset cause uneven, irregular heart rhythms and they look like jagged mountain peaks
on the computer screen. On the other hand, emotions of confidence, secure, being cared for, appreciative cause smooth and
sine-like heart rhythms on the computer screen. The heart and brain are therefore connected and that smooth and sine-like
heart rhythm prevents a person to suffer from brain fogs while he or she can make better decisions. Research has shown
that positive emotions trigger improved performance and achievement, improved memory, improved immunity to disease,
improved hormonal balance and a longer life span. This paper discusses the inside job on emotions, how emotional memories
affect behavior, how emotions and nervous systems are related, how different parts of our brain function and work together
and how our heart and brain communicate with each other.
