Key result
A dataset of psychological scores and physiological signals (ECG and RES) was collected from 19 healthy participants watching anxiety-inducing and non-anxiety-inducing video clips.
Why the study?
Portable and wearable devices are increasingly common, but the impact of anxiety-inducing stimuli on portable device-collected biosignals required examination.
How do anxiety-inducing videos impact ECG and respiration signals in healthy adults?
Observational (n=19)

How do anxiety-inducing videos impact ECG and respiration signals in healthy adults?
This dataset provides simultaneous ECG and respiration recordings during anxiety induction, enabling future research on the physiological characteristics of anxiety.
Anxiety effects on portable ECG/RES signals are hypothesis-generating; larger controlled studies needed before any clinical use.
Portable and wearable devices are becoming increasingly common in our daily lives. In this study, we examined the impact of anxiety-inducing videos on biosignals, particularly electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiration (RES) signals, that were collected using a portable device. Two psychological scales (Beck Anxiety Inventory and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) were used to assess overall anxiety before induction. The data were collected at Simon Fraser University from participants aged 18–56, all of whom were healthy at the time. The ECG and RES signals were collected simultaneously while participants continuously watched video clips that stimulated anxiety-inducing (negative experience) and non-anxiety-inducing events (positive experience). The ECG and RES signals were recorded simultaneously at 500 Hz. The final dataset consisted of psychological scores and physiological signals from 19 participants (14 males and 5 females) who watched eight video clips. This dataset can be used to explore the instantaneous relationship between ECG and RES waveforms and anxiety-inducing video clips to uncover and evaluate the latent characteristic information contained in these biosignals.

Elgendi et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=19). Anxiety-inducing videos vs. Non-anxiety-inducing videos was evaluated on Electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiration (RES) signals. A dataset of psychological scores and physiological signals (ECG and RES) was collected from 19 healthy participants watching anxiety-inducing and non-anxiety-inducing video clips.
