This study investigates the effects of haptic belt guided slow paced breathing (SPB) on vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV). VmHRV is continuously recorded to analyze differences in autonomic regulation across the different guided breathing conditions (visual, haptic belt, visual-haptic belt, and control). Data analysis is conducted using appropriate statistical methods to determine the influence of haptic belt guidance on the effectiveness of the breathing technique. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the physiological mechanisms behind breath regulation under three different guided breathing conditions.

The Diving Response...

... and its' influence on the emotional impulse control, the cardiac-vagal and sympathetic activity 

The Diving Response is a mechanism within all air-breathing animals and humans and gets activated when holding the breath while diving. It is characterised by a specific combination of responses within the respiratory, vascular and cardiac system. 

This is the first time, that not only the diving response's influence on the cardiac-vagal and sympathetic activity is taken into account. But also it's influence on the emotional impulse control is systematically examined.
