If this is true it’s really fascinating. I can’t see any evolutionary advantage to that. I guess in a fight or flight situation there may be a minute advantage.
New assassination technique: sprint back and forth until your heart rate hits 190bpm and then stand next to someone with a heart condition.
pearson correlation [a value ranging from 0 to 1] of peoples heart rates increased from the baseline of roughly 0 for shuffled times, to 0.04 for when they were physically together.
i repeat, a correlation of 0.04.
I didnt bother to read in detail the methodology, but i feel based on their description of time shuffling as their control, they did not adjust for the fact that for people to be physically together, they must also be existing at the same time. i think its very easy to question whether a correlation as weak as 0.04 could simply be explained by diurnal heart rate variation.
and also, presumably people in the same proximity are roughly doing the same thing/exposed to similar external stimuli. Of course if we are completely separate doing whatever we want, and im working out and you are not, our heart rates are going to be drastically different, compared to if we are working out together, or not working out together.
