Respiratory phase and visual signal detection
TLDR
P pneumographic respiration records were obtained on 22 female undergraduates during a visual signal detection task and analysis of signal detection with respect to respiration phase showed that signals presented during exhalation were detected more frequently than those presented during inhalation.Abstract:
Previous studies have implicated respiration as a source of intra-S variation in visual signal detection tasks. In the present study, pneumographic respiration records were obtained on 22 female undergraduates during a visual signal detection task. The analysis of signal detection with respect to respiration phase showed that signals presented during exhalation were detected more frequently than those presented during inhalation. These findings suggest that the intra-S variation in signal detection performance may be partially accounted for by respiratory behavior at the moment of signal presentation.read more

TL;DR: It is argued that respiration, via multiple sensory pathways, contributes a rhythmic component to the ongoing cortical activity and is suggested that this rhythmic activity modulates the temporal organization of cortical neurodynamics, thereby linking higher cortical functions to the process of breathing.

TL;DR: It is argued that respiration sometimes plays a double, pragmatic and epistemic, role, which reduces the cognitive load in such cases, consistent with EC, the overall cognitive activity includes a loop-like interaction between neural and non-neural elements.

Entrainment of respiration to repetitive finger tapping
TL;DR: In this article, it was found that breathing rate became entrained to tapping rate if the latter fell within a range of two breaths per minute of the subject's previous breathing rate.

TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate startle modulation by respiration, and offers the potential to apply startle methodology in the non-invasive testing of interoception-related aspects in respiratory psychophysiology.

TL;DR: It is proposed that heart rate most unequivocally reflects vagal activity, while the contractile properties of the heart manifest most unequivocally sympathetic effects.
