Abstract
The respiratory system has been relatively neglected in psychophysiological research, and respiratory parameters have, indeed, often been treated as nuisance variables. Recently, however, there seems to be a growing interest in respiratory processes among psychophysiologists who are involved in stress research (see Grossman, 1983).
