Quigley et al. (2024) delivered a comprehensive and much-needed revision of the methodological standards guiding research in heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) within psychophysiology.

The 1996 Task Force Report remains deeply influential today.

Vagal activity and parasympathetic nervous system function produce respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and heart rate variability (HRV).

This review addresses 14 misconceptions regarding cardiovascular health, HRV measurement, and HRV biofeedback training.

This post covers the ECG Signal Source, ECG Sensors, Skin Preparation, ECG Signal, Sampling Rate, Placements, Artifacts, and Tracking Tests.

Four HRV myths are Heart Rate Variability Is Bad, Stability Is Good, The Sympathetic Nervous System Plays a Major Role in Short-Term HRV,...

Slow-paced contraction (SPC) provides an alternative and unproven method for determining the resonance frequency (RF) in one or two...

Resonance frequency (RF) assessment identifies the stimulation frequency producing the greatest amplitude heart rate oscillations in one...

Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of HRV biofeedback for diverse clinical disorders like depression, diabetes,...

During slow-paced breathing between 4.6 to 6.5 bpm, you can examine your client's raw heart rate (HR) and respiration waveforms,...

Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) is the speeding and slowing of the heart across each breathing cycle. RSA is the primary and entirely...
