Nervous-System-Wise Functional Estimation of Directed Brain–Heart Interplay Through Microstate Occurrences

Conclusion: This study corroborates the literature on the BHI phenomenon under these experimental conditions and the new perspective provides novel insights from an organ–level viewpoint. Significance: A system–wise perspective of the BHI phenomenon may provide new insights into physiological and pathological processe- that may not be completely understood at a lower level/scale of analysis.
