" This paper presents an analysis of the association between the heart-rate dynamics of healthy individuals and synchronous variations in the horizontal components of the geomagnetic field. The study analyzed multiyear monitoring data from two female volunteers in good health (306 and 97 records, respectively).
The experimental design minimized potential interference from individual variations in the effect as well as from any subjects’ actions that could affect their heart rate, such as talking, moving, or external emotional stimuli.
The conclusions for each participant were obtained individually, and they demonstrated almost identical results in all aspects evaluated.
The biogeophysical synchronization effect has two manifestations: the correlation between minute HR values and variations in the GMF, and the coincidence of the main periods of oscillations within the 3–50 min range.
The synchronization process is not evenly distributed throughout the entire range of oscillations, but is predominantly present at period ranges of around 10 min (8–13 min) and 25–40 min. All the above instances of the synchronization effect are not influenced by the GMA level during the observations.
The absence of a correlation between the level of GMA and the probability of effect manifestation does not contradict prior findings on the alteration of HRV indices values during magnetic storms. Instead, it highlights yet another dimension of the solar–biospheric relationship. It is feasible this phenomenon serves as a rhythm sensor for a healthy organism under normal circumstances. There is reason to believe that the likelihood of an effect appearing is contingent on a person’s physiological and/or psycho-emotional state; however, this requires additional investigation." {Credits 1} {Credits 1} 🎪 Zenchenko, T.A.; Khorseva, N.I.; Breus, T.K.
