Neonatal autonomic assessments require behavioral state control; leaves open whether correlations generalize to clinical populations.
How do behavioral ratings and heart rate measurements correlate in human neonates under conditions of stimulation and nonstimulation?
Behavioral ratings and heart rate measurements are highly correlated in neonates, indicating that autonomic activity evaluation requires controlling for behavioral excitation.
Bridger et al. (1965) studied this question.
