What is it about?
Evaluating fatigue is essential in assessing mental, physical, and occupational health. However, there is no conclusive evidence of the usefulness of heart rate variability (HRV) in assessing mental fatigue. The aim of this study is to evaluate mental fatigue using HRV.

Why is it important?
People can not objectively realize their mental conditions. However, measuring the mind provides helpful clues in our daily activities. Our study aimed at visualizing the embodied mind. It will contribute to research, medicine, welfare, education, communities, economic activities, disaster relief, well-being, and daily life.
Perspectives
Our results provided a multidimensional analytic approach to mind. Combined with psychological tests, heart rate variability (HRV) analyses will broaden our understanding of minds and brain activities. HRV analyses for the detection of the mind will contribute to detecting unaware stress and trauma. Our approaches are helpful in research and our daily lives.
