Fractioned heart rate variability. Part II: Experiments on superimposition of components of stress.

The part of heart rate variability, linked to non-physical stress, is explored in experiments changing systematically peripheral motor strain, speed and difficulty of mental tasks, taking into account the duration of the experimental session. The physiological reaction is fractioned into components of strain according to the mental load and the arousal model.
