a The responses in HR, stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), and total peripheral resistance (TPR) during emotionally charged challenges (comedy, landscape, and horror) in nine subjects. Each of the emotional interventions consisted of three consecutive bouts involving different movie scenes. The data during each intervention were collected as the mean value over the three bouts, and they were further averaged among the subjects. b Comparisons of the subjective ratings of pleasantness and consciousness among emotionally charged movies (comedy, landscape, and horror). The subjective ratings collected immediately after every bout of an emotional challenge were averaged among 12 subjects. *Significant difference (P < 0.05) from the baseline control before emotional challenge. Significant difference (P < 0.05) between emotional challenges
