Reddit user gortag, who says he’s studying for his PhD, tracks the highs and lows of his heartbeat, the heart calming effects of death and armour Lock, the heart stressors of virtual combat. The above image is just a sample of the massive 8259 x 656 image of Halo versus the heart, so head to Reddit for the full picture.

Guitar Hero got the heart rate up the highest, to an max of 120 BPM for about 10 seconds. That was from a resting heart rate of 65. We believe Guitar Hero had the greatest effect due to the loud music and the involvement.

Your heart rate will soar during a few of those too.
