Supports thermal entrainment experimentally; leaves open diagnostic utility in clinical autonomic assessment.
Does automatic thermal stimulation induce synchronised oscillations in skin blood flow and heart rate in young males?
Rhythmic thermal stimulation can induce reproducible synchronised oscillations in skin blood flow, supporting the theory of thermal entrainment.
Lindqvist et al. (1991) studied this question.
