Active tactile discrimination is coupled with and modulated by the cardiac cycle [PDF]
Perception and cognition are modulated by the phase of the cardiac signal in which the stimuli are presented. This has been shown by locking the presentation of stimuli to distinct cardiac phases.

A tomographic microscopy-compatible Langendorff system for the dynamic structural characterization of the cardiac cycle [PDF]
IntroductionCardiac architecture has been extensively investigated ex vivo using a broad spectrum of imaging techniques. Nevertheless, the heart is a dynamic system and the structural mechanisms governing the cardiac cycle can only be unveiled when ...

Electrokymographic Studies of the Normal Cardiac Cycle [PDF]
Normal subjects were studied by employing two electrokymograms simultaneously. By comparing the sequence of events in the carotid pulse, auricle and ventricle, measurements were made of the phases of the cardiac cycle. The normal electrokymogram is discussed and illustrated.

Influence of the cardiac cycle on pCASL: cardiac triggering of the end-of-labeling [PDF]
In arterial spin labeling (ASL), the cardiac cycle might adversely influence signal-stability by varying the amount of label created, labeling efficiency and/or transport times. Due to the long labeling duration in pseudo-Continuous ASL (pCASL), the blood labeled last contributes most to the ASLsignal.
