The activity plots for BPV using the Monlet, Meyer, dB4, Mexican Hat and Haar<br />

wavelet all show similar trend. The non-normalized plots paint a better picture <strong>of</strong> what is<br />

happening. The LF starts out high and decreases to near zero in about 2 minutes, then<br />

changes direction trying to get back to the beginning state. The HF also starts out high<br />

but decreases to near zero value in half the time as the LF and stays near zero for almost 4<br />

minutes before heading back up to the beginning state. All the normalized plots <strong>of</strong> LF<br />

and HF show mirror images but totally opposite <strong>of</strong> each other. The LF/HF ratio plots all<br />

start near zero indicating that there is stronger parasympathetic effect at the beginning.<br />

However, the sympathovagal balance tries to reach to a level <strong>of</strong> twice that <strong>of</strong> the vagal<br />

tone for almost the entire 5-minute session.
