Abstract

"OBJECTIVE: Mirrored psychophysiological change in cognitive workload indices may reflect shared mental models and effective healthcare team dynamics. In this exploratory analysis, we investigated the frequency of mirrored changes, defined as concurrent peaks in heart rate variability (HRV) across team members, during cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Objective cognitive workload was evaluated via HRV collected from the primary
