“…Finally, the experiment begins. It consists in a series of 8 exercises where the participants have to either increase their heart rate or lower it (inspired by the work of Manuck et al [4]). During an exercise the participants have to maintain, for the maximum of time, their heart rate in a designated zone, based on their baseline value.…”

The usage of biofeedback in Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming more and more important in providing fully immersive experiences. With the rapid evolution of physiological monitoring technologies it is important to study how different modalities of biofeedback can alter user experience. While previous studies use biofeedback as an additional interaction mechanic. We created a protocol to assess heart rate control competency and used the results of said protocol to immerse our participants in a VR experience where the biofeedback mechanics are mandatory to complete a game. We observed consistent results between our competency scale and the participants' mastery of the biofeedback game mechanic in the VR experience. We also found that the biofeedback mechanic has a significant impact on engagement.

“…Part of the methodology that can be used to implement an enactive cinema system stems from the vast body of experimental and clinical research using physiology-based real-time feedback since the 1970's (e.g., Nowlis and Kamiya, 1970; Manuck et al, 1975). By presenting participants with feedback of their own physiological state (heart rate, breathing, brain activity, etc.)…”

We outline general theoretical and practical implications of what we promote as enactive cinema for the neuroscientific study of online socio-emotional interaction. In a real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) setting, participants are immersed in cinematic experiences that simulate social situations. While viewing, their physiological reactions—including brain responses—are tracked, representing implicit and unconscious experiences of the on-going social situations. These reactions, in turn, are analyzed in real-time and fed back to modify the cinematic sequences they are viewing while being scanned. Due to the engaging cinematic content, the proposed setting focuses on living-by in terms of shared psycho-physiological epiphenomena of experience rather than active coping in terms of goal-oriented motor actions. It constitutes a means to parametrically modify stimuli that depict social situations and their broader environmental contexts. As an alternative to studying the variation of brain responses as a function of a priori fixed stimuli, this method can be applied to survey the range of stimuli that evoke similar responses across participants at particular brain regions of interest.

“…Next, during the training phase, individuals in the treatment group receive instruction in the method designed to reduce their cardiovascular response (e.g., cognitive intervention, relaxation, biofeedback) while control participants receive no training. In some investigations, participants have received training while at rest (Blanchard & Young, 1972;Hatch, 1980;Manuck, Levenson, Hinrichsen, & Gryll, 1975), whereas in other studies, training was conducted while participants engaged in a physical or mental task (Larkin, Manuck, & Kasprowicz, 1990;Perski & Engle, 1980;Sirota, Schwartz, & Shapiro, 1974). Finally, in the post-training phase of these studies, participants in both groups are re-exposed to the stressor and a second estimate of cardiovascular responsivity is calculated.…”

Transfer of heart rate feedback training to reduce heart rate response to laboratory tasks

Researchers have demonstrated that individuals can successfully reduce their heart rate (HR) response to a stressor when provided with heart rate feedback. However, it is unclear whether individuals can transfer HR reduction skills to stressors not used during HR feedback training. The present study used a multiple baseline, single subject design to examine the transfer of HR feedback training among six individuals. Participants were provided with HR feedback training during the presentation of a videogame, a mental arithmetic challenge, and a hand grip task until the participants reduced their HR to within 4 bpm of their resting HR or until they completed three 2-hour training sessions. The participants' ability to reduce HR responses to the three training tasks with no HR feedback was assessed during an immediate post-training period, which followed training on each task. The participants' ability to reduce HR responses to the training tasks and a speech task was assessed during short delay (i.e., 1-2 days) and long delay (1-2 weeks) post-training sessions. Overall, participants demonstrated that during HR feedback training, they could successfully reduce their HR and generally could maintain this reduction in HR to the training task during an immediate post-training assessment when HR was not present. However, individuals were not able to reduce their HR responses to tasks during the short delay and long delay post-training sessions and they were unable to transfer HR reduction skills to a novel task (i.e., the speech task). In general, blood pressure responses to the tasks during the post-training sessions were equivalent to pre-training blood pressure levels. Individuals demonstrated consistent performance levels during the videogame and hand grip tasks, and increasing performance levels during the mental arithmetic task. Additional research is needed to examine whether providing motivation (e.g., monetary rewards) during post-training sessions or teaching specific HR reducing skills (e.g., diaphragmatic breathing) might enhance the transfer of HR feedback training and the reduction of HR responses to any number of tasks.
