New research conducted by the University of Wollongong in Australia explores the changes in brain and heart activity during interactions between dog owners and their pets. The study found that there were significant increases in relaxation and focused attention during these interactions, as evidenced by higher subjective units of relaxation (SUR), delta, theta, alpha, beta power, and heart rate (HR). The findings contribute to understanding the potential mechanisms for the health benefits associated with owning pets. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology. [Extracted from the article] |
