Researchers have used mathematical analysis tools to study the effect of classical music on a fetal heartbeat and identify patterns in heart rate variability. They recruited 36 pregnant women and ...

Playing music has long been a way for expectant parents to connect with their children in the womb, but a group of researchers has found evidence it can calm fetal heart rates, potentially providing ...

A new study finds that classical music exposure in the third trimester reduces the complexity of fetal heart rate variability, leading to more regular and stable cardiac patterns, potentially linked ...
