Abstract
Heart rate variability (HRV) supports emotion regulation and is reduced by alcohol. Based on the resonance propertiesof the cardiovascular system, a new 0.1-Hz methodology was developed to present emotional stimuli and assess HRVreaction in participants (N536) randomly assigned to an alcohol, placebo, or control condition. Blocked picture cues(negative, positive, neutral) were presented at a rate of 5 s on, 5 s off (i.e., 0.1-Hz frequency). SDNN, pNN50, and HFHRV were reduced by alcohol, compared to the placebo and control. The 0.1-Hz HRV index was diminished byalcohol and placebo, suggesting that autonomic regulation can be affected by cognitive expectancy. The 0.1-Hz HRVindex and pNN50 detected changes in arousal during emotional compared to neutral cues, and the 0.1-Hz HRV indexwas most sensitive to negative valence. The 0.1-Hz HRV methodology may be useful for studying the intersection ofcognition, emotion, and autonomic regulation.Descriptors:Alcohol, Placebo, Emotion, HRV, 0.1-Hz resonance, Baroreflex
I read the paper in your extra source link, but I didn't see anything about showing pictures, like in the question you are trying to answer. So that question in your opening post must relate to a different paper, post the link to that paper. I don't even see units on the RRI graph on the left, where the values go from approximately 600 to 800, that's 600 to 800 what, exactly? Milliseconds? If so, why doesn't it say so? The graph on the right appears to have units.

So this question was posed and I was curious as to the correct answer. There is no rush--I am merely curious and would especially like to understand the equations in the link provided if any of you would be so kind as to explain some basics to me :3
If anyone could provide me with the correct answer to the question in the first picture, I will give you one whole cookie
Extra source (incl. the equations)

To note, good sirs and/or madams, this is not just a reply to you but to the thread itself, to close it. Thank you for your analysis!
BEHOLD! THE ABRIDGED ANSWER TO THE QUESTION STATED IN THE OP
Also, the topic is Psychophysiology
ANSWER: The figure on the left is essentially an uncompressed form of the figure on the right. The figure on the right is measured in Hertz (Hz) and is a potential indicator of emotional adjustment level, hence the FFT (Fast Fourier transform) conversion. This would be an example of HF (high-frequency), since the peak in the graph on the right is within the range of 0.075 and 0.15. It is not LF (low-frequency), so we don't have to talk about that.
Thank you all for your input and for the wholesomeness.
Have a fantastic night everyone!
A pleasure as usual~
