The possibility that Earth’s geomagnetic activity can affect humans has been debated for many years. Cells in human body are embedded in an environment of both external and internal fluctuating magnetic fields that can affect virtually every circuit in biological systems to a certain degree, d...

This study used a biofeedback intervention that taught patients how to synchronize their heart rhythm with their respiration and their alpha brain waves in order to lower their levels of autonomic nervous system (ANS) activation. In essence, subjects learned how to create more integration between th...

Health Outcome Studies “Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.” Hippocrates An estimated 60% to 80% of primary-care doctor visits are related to stress. HeartMath’s easily learned mental and emotion self-regulation techniques and practices can provide an effectiv...

Establishing a New Baseline At the HMI Research Center, we have found that the heart plays a central role in the generation of emotional experience and therefore, in the establishment of psychophysiological coherence. From a systems perspective, the human organism is truly a vast, multidimensional i...

Coherence Definitions of Coherence Clarity of thought, speech and emotional composure The quality of being orderly, consistent and intelligible (e.g. a coherent sentence). Synchronization or entrainment between multiple waveforms A constructive waveform produced by two or more waves that are phase-...

Heart Rate Variability: An Indicator of Self-Regulatory Capacity, Autonomic Function and Health The autonomic nervous system (ANS) (Figure 1.1) is the part of the nervous system that controls the body’s internal functions, including heart rate, gastrointestinal tract and secretions o...

Introduction This study aims to test the feasibility and explore the effects of training in cardiac coherence of people who have with intellectual disabilities in conjunction with their work in sheltered workshops. People with intellectual disability may have difficulties in managing stressful and e...

Occupational stress has in a large number of studies been proven to increase and challenge employees’ sustained employability. By optimizing workers’ health surveillance programs (WHS), predictions of future health can be made and prevention of mental health illness can be facilitated. C...

Police Special Forces (a.k.a. special weapons and tactics ) officers are tasked with responding to the most critical situations, including incidents that require specialized skills and equipment beyond typical policing activities. In this study, we tested the feasibility of applying Arnetz and colle...
