Visibility graph analysis on heartbeat dynamics of meditation training

Abstract: We apply the visibility graph analysis to human heartbeat dynamics by constructing the complex networks of heartbeat interval time series and investigating the statistical properties of the network before and during chi and yoga meditation. The experiment results show that visibility graph analysis can reveal the dynamical changes caused by meditation training manifested as regular heartbeat, which is closely related to the adjustment of autonomous neural system, and visibility graph analysis is effective to e… Show more

“…Theoretical research on visibility graphs has elaborated on mathematical methods [8][9][10][11] and some rigorous results on the properties of these graphs when associated to canonical models of complex dynamics have been obtained [12][13][14][15]. From a practical point of view, this method has been used as a feature extraction procedure to construct feature vectors from time series for statistical learning purposes (see [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] for just a few examples in the life sciences or [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] for other applications in the physical sciences). Very recently [31], this paradigm has been theoretically extended to handle scalar fields.…”

“…We have divided the total number of events in three ranges of n g . In doing so, although the number of events in some is comparatively low but this does not affect the result of the analysis as we have highlighted earlier in the text that this new method only can deliver reliable results with short data even with 400 data points [32].…”

“…Hence periodic series is transformed to a regular graph, random series to a random graph and naturally fractal series to a scale-free network in which the graph's degree distribution conforms to the power-law with respect to its degree. Thus a fractal series can be mapped into a scale-free visibility graph [29], that too from a series with a finite number of points [40] as against the other non-stationary, nonlinear methods like DFA, MF-DFA which require a infinite data series as input.…”
