Emotion is composed of cognitive processing, physiological response and behavioral reaction. Heart rate variability (HRV) refers to the fluctuations between consecutive heartbeat cycles, and is considered as a non-invasive method for evaluating cardiac autonomic function. HRV analysis plays an important role in emotional study and detection.
In this paper, the physiological foundation of HRV is briefly described, and then the relevant literature relating to HRV-based emotion studies for the performance of HRV in different emotions, emotion recognition, the evaluation of emotional disorders, HRV biofeedback, as well as HRV-based emotion analysis and management enhanced by wearable devices, are reviewed.
It is suggested that HRV is an effective tool for the measurement and regulation of emotional response, with a broad application prospect.
情绪由认知加工、生理反应和行为反应组成。心率变异性（HRV）是指连续心跳周期之间的波动，被认为是评估心脏自主功能的一种非侵入性方法。HRV 分析在情绪研究和检测中起着重要作用。
本文简要描述了 HRV 的生理基础，然后回顾了基于 HRV 的情绪研究相关文献，包括 HRV 在不同情绪下的表现、情绪识别、情绪障碍评估、HRV 生物反馈以及可穿戴设备增强的基于 HRV 的情绪分析和管理。
研究表明，HRV 是测量和调节情绪反应的有效工具，具有广阔的应用前景。
