Understanding the psychophysiology of flow: A driving simulator experiment to investigate the relationship between flow and heart rate variability

作者：

Highlights：

• We investigated the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and flow.

• We conducted a driving-simulator experiment to induce boredom, flow, and anxiety.

• HRV differed significantly between the three mental states.

• A negative linear relation exists between low-frequency component of HRV and flow.

• Flow is associated with baroreflex modulation of cardiovascular activity.
