This simulator visualizes how facial cold-water exposure triggers coordinated changes in heart rate and blood vessel constriction through the mammalian diving reflex.
Adjust the water temperature and immersion duration to see how the simulated heart rate, peripheral blood flow, and nervous system activation respond in real time.
Sliders let you control water temperature and facial immersion time to observe the resulting bradycardia and vasoconstriction response.
Infants have an especially strong diving reflex, and some human breath-hold divers can voluntarily train their bodies to intensify this response for deeper, longer dives.
