From an in-depth discussion about heart-brain interactions, to the physiological correlates of positive emotions, to the intrinsic cardiac nervous system, the science behind the Institute of HeartMath’s many years of research is chronicled and revealed in a series of insightful scientific monographs. Available to the general public in downloadable e-book form, they provide great overviews and a more technical discussion of HeartMath research on range of topics, including stress and emotional management, coherence, heart-rate variability, the physiology of emotional experience, energetic communications and the intelligent heart.
The Coherent Heart: Heart-Brain Interactions, Psychophysiological Coherence, and the Emergence of System-Wide Order: The Coherent Heart offers an in-depth discussion of heart-brain interactions as well as a look at the heart’s role in organizing systemwide coherence. Go to The Coherent Heart.
The Appreciative Heart: The Psychophysiology of Positive Emotions and Optimal Functioning: A concise overview of the physiological correlates of positive emotions and the scientific underpinnings of two core HeartMath techniques. Go to The Appreciative Heart.
The Energetic Heart: Bioelectromagnetic Interactions Within and Between People: This fascinating monograph explains bioelectromagnetic interactions within and between people and how the heart’s electromagnetic field acts as an important carrier of emotional information and key mediator of energetic interactions between people. Go to The Energetic Heart.
Neurocardiology: Anatomical and Functional Principles: The heart’s intrinsic nervous system, or "heart brain," is discussed and its anatomical organization and complex neuronal processing and memory capabilities are described. Go to Neurocardiology.
Heart-Brain Neurodynamics: The Making of Emotions: Explores recent scientific advances that clarify a number of central controversies in the understanding of emotion, including the relationship between intellect and emotion. Go to Heart-Brain Neurodynamics.
Science of the Heart: Exploring the Role of the Heart in Human Performance: This insightful and comprehensive monograph provides fundamental and detailed summaries of the Institute of HeartMath’s many years of innovative research. Go to Science of the Heart.
Reducing Test Anxiety and Improving Test Performance in America’s Schools: Results from the TestEdge National Demonstration Study: This 372-page e-Book is a comprehensive report presenting the complete results from the TestEdge National Demonstration Study which was conducted by the Institute of HeartMath in collaboration with Claremont Graduate University. Go to Reducing Test Anxiety and Improving Test Performance.
Autonomic Assessment: This guidebook provides an excellent introduction to the use of 24-hour heart-rate-variability (HRV) analysis in the assessments of the autonomic nervous system. HRV analysis provides a unique window into the dynamics of sympathetic and parasympathetic control of the heart, is useful for assessing autonomic involvement in a number of pathologies and also is used to enhance health risk stratification. Go to Autonomic Assessment.
