Mechanisms of Biofeedback Control

On the Importance of Verbal (Conscious) Processing

  • Chapter
Book cover Consciousness and Self-Regulation

Abstract

A young woman sitting alone in a small room watches a television screen which provides her with an analog on-line display of her heart rate, and, presumably using the information provided on the screen, attempts to raise and lower her heart rate appropriately when cued to do so by the letter R or the letter L shown in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.
