Abstract
The existence of a characteristic pattern of breathing for each individual, when awake at rest, has previously been demonstrated1,2. In an endeavour to measure an individual’s breathing pattern when awake at rest it is desirable, but difficult, to minimise forebrain influences upon breathing3. No matter how careful one is in controlling the experimental conditions, one can never be certain that such forebrain influences are absent and it is possible that they account for an individual’s particular breathing pattern when at rest i.e. when respiratory ‘drive’ is minimal.
