Does choir singing increase phase synchronization in respiration and heart rate variability among participants compared to rest?
p-value: p=<0.0001
Choir singing induces significant interpersonal oscillatory coupling of cardiac and respiratory patterns, providing a physiological basis for interpersonal action coordination.
Müller et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Healthy volunteers (n=12). Choir singing vs. Rest condition was evaluated on Phase synchronization in respiration and heart rate variability (p=<0.0001). Choir singing significantly increased phase synchronization in respiration and heart rate variability among choir members compared to a rest condition.
