The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of a biofeedback relaxation training program on anxiety and academic performance. The program consisted of five biofeedback sessions coupled with three training activities focused on deep breathing, guided imagery, and muscle relaxation. The partici...

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...

Sunshine Secret is a highly interactive program that uses technology to engage children on multiple levels to teach them how to recognize, self-regulate and control their emotions. Every parent and teacher knows that young children love to engage all of their senses no matter what they are doing. He...

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...

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...

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...
