“…Physiological monitoring. We measured heart rate using the Empatica E4, a physiological monitoring device that yields clinical-grade heart rate via photoplethysmography measured at 64Hz from a wristband (Garbarino, Lai, Tognetti, Picard, & Bender, 2014). All but one participant with PWS tolerated this device.…”

Why do we sing to babies? Human infants are relatively altricial and need their parents' attention to survive. Infant-directed song may constitute a signal of that attention. In the rare genomic imprinting disorder Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), typically paternally-expressed genes from chromosome 15q11-q13 are unexpressed, resulting in exaggeration of traits that reduce offspring investment demands on the mother. PWS may thus be associated with a distinctive musical phenotype. We report unusual responses to music in PWS. Subjects (N = 39) moved more during music listening, exhibited greater reductions in heart rate in response to music listening, and displayed a specific deficit in pitch discrimination ability relative to typicallydeveloping adults and children (N = 589). Paternally-expressed genes from 15q11-q13, unexpressed in PWS, may thus increase demands for music and enhance perceptual sensitivity to music. These results implicate genomic imprinting in the psychology of music, informing theories of music's evolutionary history.

“…Physiological data were collected using the E4 wristband [26]. The E4 wristband has four sensors integrated in its case: a photoplethysmography sensor (to measure heart rate, heart rate variability, and inter-beat interval), a triaxial accelerometer (to measure acceleration, but also to detect movement patterns), an infrared thermometer (to gauge peripheral skin temperature), and an electrodermal response sensor (to assess arousal).…”

Abstract-The study of engagement is central to improve the quality of care and provide people with dementia with meaningful activities. Current assessment techniques of engagement for people with dementia rely exclusively on behavior observation. However, novel unobtrusive sensing technologies, capable of tracking psychological states during activities, can provide us with a deeper layer of knowledge about engagement. We compared the engagement of persons with dementia involved in two playful activities, a game-based cognitive stimulation and a robot-based free play, using observational rating scales and electrodermal activity (EDA). Results highlight significant differences in observational rating scales and EDA between the two activities and several significant correlations between the items of observational rating scales of engagement and affect, and EDA features.

“…They were not informed about the aim of the study; in particular, they did not know that some of the sounds were ASD cries. Only during the first part of the experiment, the Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal was recorded with an Empatica E4 device, a wearable wireless multisensor wristband (Garbarino, Lai, Bender, Picard, & Tognetti, 2014). Non-dominant arm was used to place the device and all subjects indicated their left arms as nondominant.…”

Little is known about the physiological response of parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to crying of children who have already received the diagnosis of ASD. This study aimed to compare cardiac dynamics via Inter-Beat Interval (IBI) and self-reported emotional states of parents of children with ASD and of parents with typically developing (TD) children while listening to crying of children with ASD (ASD cry) and of typically developing children (TD cry). Analyses revealed higher IBI in parents of children with ASD than IBI in parents of TD children while listening to both cry groups; however no differences on self-reported emotional states were observed. Parents of children with ASD were calmer (higher IBI) than parents of TD children while listening to crying. However, ASD cry did not elicit different IBI compared to TD cry. ASD cry and TD cry were differentiated based on parents' self-responses about what they felt during the listening of crying, their physiological responses showed no differences. These results highlight the similarities and differences between self-reported emotional states and physiological responses of parents of children with ASD, and also point to the importance of monitoring parents' physiological responses in addition to their subjective responses.
