Auricular vagus nerve stimulation affects fractality of the human body as resolved by advanced ECG

摘要

The electrical auricular vagus nerve stimulation is an emerging neuromodulation technique with systemic effects on the human body. We preliminary validate these effects with an advanced ECG which extracts the fractal structure of the body and thus reflects systemic and regulatory interactions between the brain, heart and periphery. The stimulation seems to reinforce regulatory interrelations in the heart.
