Heart rate variability is becoming incredibly popular in the biobehavioral sciences yet there's no standard for how this research is reported. In this episode, Dan and James discuss their latest paper where they propose heart rate variability reporting guidelines. They also talk about saunas (why not?) and why 'sympathovagal balance' should be abandoned.
