(A) The average responses in heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) during emotionally charged challenges (comedy, landscape, and horror) in 13 subjects. Each of the emotional interventions consisted of three consecutive bouts involving different movie scenes. The mean data during each intervention, which were collected as the mean value over the three bouts, were further averaged among the subjects. (B) Comparisons of the subjective ratings of pleasantness and consciousness among emotionally charged movies (comedy, landscape, and horror). The subjective ratings collected immediately after every bout of an emotional challenge were averaged among all 14 subjects. *Significant difference (P < 0.05) from the baseline control. ^†Significant difference (P < 0.05) between emotional challenges.
