Cover Story: Recent advancements in wearable tech and neuroimaging devices utilizing photoplethysmography have demonstrated the feasibility of pulse rate variability analysis. Several studies have revealed a minor discrepancy in pulse rate variability compared to heart rate variability derived concurrently; however, these studies did not consider the influence of sampling rate where the majority of photoplethysmography devices sample between 20 and 100 Hz. In a study with 54 participants, cardiac activity was recorded using electrocardiography and photoplethysmography at three sites (two cerebral and one peripheral). The findings suggest that ~40–100 Hz is needed for accurate pulse rate variability estimates, with a mild parasympathetic bias in pulse rate variability compared to heart rate variability parameters. View this paper
