Measuring the time-scale-dependent information flow between maternal and fetal heartbeats during the third trimester
Nicolas B. Garnier, Maria S. Molinet, Marta C. Antonelli +2
Prenatal maternal stress alters maternal-fetal heart rate coupling, as demonstrated by the Fetal Stress Index derived from bivariate phase-rectified signal averaging. Here, we exte…
