The purpose of this study is to share the findings of a three-month project that focused on recognizing and reducing the negative effects of test anxiety on gifted 4th grade students. Test anxiety has been recognized as an inhibitor of test performance among students. It has even been deemed an...

The accountability movement, firmly established in the sixties by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), has been strengthened through No Child Left Behind’s (NCLB) empirical data driven focus and sanctions for failure to meet test score requirements...

Previous studies investigating correlations in brain activity between isolated pairs have found significantly correlated brain activity in approximately 20% of participant pairs when one member is engaged in a specified task and the other is not. Participants who demonstrate correlated electroenceph...

This study determined the correlates and consequences of stress and test anxiety in a large sample of students (980) and investigated the effects of HeartMath tools among 636 of them who were part of an experimental group compared to the other 344 who were in a control group. Teachers rece...

Building upon the quantum-holographic theory of nonlocal communication presented at last year’s AGSE conference (Bradley, 2006), this paper extends the theory to include both nonlocal communication (intuition) and nonlocal agency—the subtle but significant (scientifically measurable) eff...

This paper reports the preliminary results of a pilot study testing the efficacy of a new experimental protocol to measure the psychophysiological basis of entrepreneurial intuition—that part of entrepreneurial decision and action that is not based on reason or memory, but on an awareness of e...

Student musicians were recruited to participate in an experimental repeated measures study to identify effects of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training and emotional self-regulation techniques on music performance anxiety (MPA) and music performance. Fourteen students were randomly assig...

The Coherent Heart is IHM’s most comprehensive scientific monograph to date. It provides an in-depth understanding of the role of the heart role in the emergence of systemwide coherence and new research findings on how heart-brain interactions affect various aspects of cognitive performance. T...

This study assessed possible effects of exposure to compassionate presence on people in comatose or non-communicative states near death. It used several different instruments in this assessment: biofeedback technology, co-researcher interviews and survey reports. The biofeedback tool chosen for use...
