Research Abstract	Twenty seven university students participated in this study. They were divided by 2 subject groups; 15 subjects having symptoms like irritable bowel syndrome and 17 subjects having no symptoms. Electrogastroenterpgram and electrocardiogram were recorded from all subjects during rest and uncomfortable visual stimuli.
