  1. 1. Development and Evaluation of Virtual Reality Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Application

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Zihao Tang; [2018]
    Keywords : Biofeedback; Heart Rate Variability; Application; Virtual Reality;

    Abstract : Background: Reduced heart rate variability is an important factor in evaluation of autonomic nervous system and diseases. Resonance frequency breathing is a non-invasive and effective training method for increasing heart rate variability. Turing this breathing exercise into a video game is an efficient way to reduce training time and vapidity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Neural Correlates of Heart Rate Variability : Threat and Safety Perception

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Philip Frändén; [2018]
    Keywords : heart rate variability; threat and safety perception; stress; neural correlates; heart-brain connection; cognitive neuroscience;

    Abstract : The connection between the heart and the brain was coined 150 years ago by Claude Bernard and has since then been an interesting topic of research. Scientists have for many years searched for biomarkers of stress and health to map the current status of the organism. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Pilot Study on the Effectiveness of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback on Healthy Subjects

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Sofie Sjödahl; [2015]
    Keywords : Heart Rate Variability; Biofeedback;

    Abstract : Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a medical term describing the heart’s natural varying time difference between heartbeats (called NN-intervals). A higher HRV i.e. a larger variability between NN-intervals is connected to healthiness, and lower HRV to unhealthy states. READ MORE

  5. 4. Application of real-time HRV biofeedback in the scenario of meditation practice : Feasibility, usability and medical fidelity

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för medieteknik (ME)

    Author : Jan Gunzenhauser; [2015]
    Keywords : heart rate variability analysis; autonomic nervous system; stress quantification; meditation; real-time biofeedback; electrocardiography; Lomb method;

    Abstract : Chronic stress is a prevalent and universally present hazard in modern society. It lowers the quality of life for individuals and significantly con- tributes to unsustainable health care costs. Therefore it is important to have natural and noninvasive ways of controlling stress.

  6. 5. Development and evaluation of a HRV Biofeedback System

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Klara Lindskog; [2014]
    Keywords : HRV biofeedback;

    Abstract : This is a master thesis project written at the School of Technology and Health within KTH, Flemingsberg. It consisted of making improvements in an existing application for tablets used for training HRV biofeedback that was developed as part of an earlier master thesis within the same school. READ MORE
