Understanding multiday cycles underpinning human physiology

我们最近发现了调节我们大脑和心脏活动的长期节律，持续时间从3-60天不等。这些较长的“多日周期”的原因仍然未知。该项目旨在了解;多日周期的原因（测量神经和自主神经系统），其影响（对认知，睡眠和压力），并量化耦合周期系统之间的关系。研究成果可以提供有关控制人类生理学的循环动力学的基本新知识，从而提高生命科学研究的严谨性。商业成果包括基于生理周期优化个人生产力、学习、健康和福祉的技术，为社会带来各种好处。

We recently discovered long-term rhythms modulating activities of our brains and hearts ranging in duration from 3-60 days. The cause of these longer, ‘multiday cycles’ remain unknown. This project aims to understand; causes of multiday cycles (measuring the nervous and autonomic nervous system), their effects (on cognition, sleep, and stress), and quantify the relationship between coupled cyclical systems. The research outcomes can provide fundamental new knowledge about cyclic dynamics governing human physiology, leading to improved rigour in life sciences research. Commercial outcomes include technology to optimise individual productivity, learning, health, and wellbeing based on physiological cycles, with diverse benefits to society.
