“…The present study replicates previous findings (Goodie & Larkin, 2001;Larkin et al, 1989Larkin et al, , 1990Larkin et al, , 1992b that HR reactions to stress can be reduced using HR feedback training during the presentation of a videogame task, and extends these findings by demonstrating that HR reactions to a mental arithmetic challenge and handgrip task can also be reduced using HR feedback training. Almost all participants demonstrated decreased HR responses to the videogame, mental arithmetic, and handgrip tasks.…”

“…Scores after each trial were recorded. This videogame task has been used to teach HR feedback in previous studies (Goodie & Larkin, 2001;Larkin et al, 1989Larkin et al, , 1990Larkin et al, , 1992aLarkin et al, , 1992b.…”

“…If the participant was unable to reach the target goal by the end of the two-hour session, up to two other training sessions were devoted to reaching the target goal. The three session limit was implemented because previous research using the videogame task (i.e., Goodie & Larkin, 1999;Larkin et al, 1989Larkin et al, , 1990Larkin et al, , 1992b had shown that individuals typically learned to reduce their HR during the course of a single 2-hour training session.…”

“…Because of the observed relation between exaggerated cardiovascular responses to stress and these disease endpoints, researchers have examined several methods aimed at reducing one's cardiovascular reactions to stress, including cognitive (Grimm & Kanfer, 1976;Houston & Holmes, 1976), behavioral (Ewart, Burnett, & Taylor, 1983;Kirsch & Henry, 1979), and physiological interventions (Goleman & Schwartz, 1976;Lehrer, 1978;Sawada & Steptoe, 1988). Among studies aimed at reducing the magnitude of cardiovascular reactions to stress, those employing HR feedback training with both animals (Ainslie & Engel, 1974;Engel & Chism, 1967;Engel & Gottlieb, 1970;Engel & Hansen, 1966) and humans (Goldstein, Ross, & Brady, 1977;Larkin, Manuck, & Kasprowicz, 1989;Larkin, Manuck, & Kasprowicz, 1990;Larkin, Zayfert, Veltum, & Abel, 1992b;Perski & Engel, 1980;Sirota, Schwartz, & Shapiro, 1974) have demonstrated the most consistent reductions in HR responses to stressors when participants are trained to reduce HR during the presentation of a stressor.…”

To examine whether transfer of heart rate (HR) feedback training to tasks not used during training could be improved by using multiple tasks during training, a modified multiple baseline across tasks, single subject design study was conducted using six high HR-reactive young adults. Participants received HR feedback training during the presentation of a videogame, and transfer of training was assessed to a mental arithmetic challenge and handgrip task. Transfer of training was next assessed following training with the mental arithmetic challenge and handgrip task. HR responses to each training task with no HR feedback were assessed during a pre-treatment session, an immediate post-training period following training on each task, a short delay (1-2 days) post-training session, and a long delay (1-2 weeks) post-training session. HR response to a novel speech task was assessed at pre-treatment and during short delay and long delay post-training sessions. Results revealed that participants reduced HR during training and generally maintained this reduction in HR during the immediate post-training assessment when HR feedback was not present. Participants were not able to reduce HR responses to tasks during short delay and long delay post-training sessions, and they were unable to transfer HR reduction skills to the speech task. Transfer of HR feedback training to new tasks was limited in nature and efforts to train across multiple stressors did not appear to improve transfer of training.

“…Research indicates that false feedback of heart rate has the potential to alter our emotional response [17,18,19], even when the feedback signal is ignored [20]. Although most studies do not show that false feedback of heart rate influences actual heart rate, they do show that emotional interpretation itself can change as a result of false feedback.…”

It is well known that our emotional response is related to our bodily state, and more specifically that our bodily state can directly influence particular emotions we feel. It appears, however, that this fact has so far not had a significant influence in the entertainment industry. We first review existing work on physical emotion induction. Based on this work we present several techniques to influence emotional responses through physical means in a non-cognitive manner. The basis for the different techniques is a two-factor model of emotion: Pleasure and Arousal. We selected 4 sets of movie clips that correspond to the 4 possible quadrants existing in the 2 factor model. We have implemented some of the emotion induction techniques in a physical device (interactive chair) and tested the effects on the immersiveness of the movie clips and the emotional experience of the participants.
