Manual tracking accuracy decreases with higher heart rates, leading to more errors during specific cardiac cycle phases. This impacts the reliability of manual tracking in physiological monitoring applications.

Area of Science:

  • Physiology
  • Human Factors Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Manual tracking is a common method for data acquisition in various scientific fields.
  • Understanding factors influencing manual tracking performance is crucial for data accuracy.
  • The cardiac cycle's physiological variations may affect fine motor control and tracking precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between manual tracking performance and heart rate.
  • To determine if the phase of the cardiac cycle influences tracking accuracy.
  • To quantify the impact of physiological parameters on manual tracking errors.

Main Methods:

  • One-dimensional manual tracking task performed by participants.
  • Simultaneous measurement of heart rate and tracking performance.

  • Analysis of tracking error incidence and successful tracking time.
  • Correlation of errors with the phase of the cardiac cycle.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased heart rate correlated with a higher incidence of tracking errors.
    • Higher heart rate was associated with decreased successful tracking time.
    • Tracking error incidence demonstrated a clear time-locking pattern with the cardiac cycle phases.

    Conclusions:

    • Manual tracking performance is significantly affected by physiological factors like heart rate.
    • The cardiac cycle phase introduces predictable variations in manual tracking accuracy.
    • These findings highlight the need to consider cardiovascular dynamics when using manual tracking in research or clinical settings.
