This book described empirical results of biological use of an analytical technique, DFA (Detrended Fluctuation Analysis). But this book did not describe what DFA is. Instead, using DFA, fluctuation of heartbeats was investigated in this book. Because human hearts are inappropriate specimens for conducting physiological experiments, crustacean hearts were chosen at first as a model to conduct various experiments such as isolated-heart experiments. Later, this book described human heart as well. First, we tried to describe how human hearts resemble with invertebrate hearts. (Those who do not...

Emotions of fear, tension or happiness can be quantitatively measurable using a method that calculates a measure called scaling exponent (SI). The measure SI is computed from consecutive pulse data approximately 2000. The methodology is heartbeat interval timeseries analysis. The name is the modified detrended fluctuation analysis (mDFA). This book introduces how the methodology works. Experimental evidences shown are obtained from neurobiological, mainly electrophysiological investigations on invertebrate animals and humans. The heartbeat carries something that cannot be seen from outside....
