Heart Rate Variability Mainly Relates to Cognitive Executive Functions and Improves Through Exergame Training in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis of a 6-Month Randomized Controlled Trial

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
Heart rate variability (HRV) mirrors autonomic nervous system activities and might serve as a parameter to monitor health status in older adults. However, it is currently unknown which functional health measures, including cognitive, physical, and gait ...

OneMax Is Not the Easiest Function for Fitness Improvements

Evolutionary Computation, 2023
Abstract We study the (1:s+1) success rule for controlling the population size of the (1,λ)-EA. It was shown by Hevia Fajardo and Sudholt that this parameter control mechanism can run into problems for large s if the fitness landscape is too easy.
