Conference Publication – Predicting Adverse Childhood Experiences via Machine Learning Ensembles

Predicting Adverse Childhood Experiences via Machine Learning Ensembles Recently, we collaborated with the Indian Institute of Technology Mandi team to understand if predicting exposure to childhood trauma (Adverse Childhood Experiences-ACEs) is possible without directly asking questions about specific ACEs.

Publication – Bhramari (humming) as stress buster

Humming (Simple Bhramari Pranayama) as a Stress Buster: A Holter-Based Study to Analyze Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Parameters During Bhramari, Physical Activity, Emotional Stress, and Sleep A brief note on the article: Recent research by Gunjan in our team identified that Bhramari Pranayama (simple practice, without any mudras or hand gestures) could profoundly benefit heart signals (resulting in heart-brain coherence that improves physical and mental health).  This was validated by comparing the "heart signals" (known as heart rate variability analysis or coherence) during various activities (physical activity, emotional stress, sleep, and Bhramari), and the comparison demonstrated the outcome.  You
