Behavioural and electrophysiological studies point to an apparent influence of the state of
respiration, ie, whether we inhale or exhale, on brain activity and cognitive performance …

Scientific interest in the brain and body interactions has been surging in recent years. One
fundamental yet underexplored aspect of brain and body interactions is the link between the …

Breathing is a natural daily action that one cannot do without, and it sensitively and intensely
changes under various situations. What if this essential act of breathing can impact our …

Recent studies from the field of interoception have highlighted the link between bodily and
neural rhythms during action, perception, and cognition. The mechanisms underlying …

Ongoing fluctuations of neuronal activity have long been considered intrinsic noise that
introduces unavoidable and unwanted variability into neuronal processing, which the brain …

The brain generates oscillatory neuronal activity at a broad range of frequencies and the
presence and amplitude of certain oscillations at specific times and in specific brain regions …

Respiration paces brain oscillations and the firing of individual neurons, revealing a
profound impact of rhythmic breathing on brain activity. Intriguingly, respiration-driven …

Recent research suggests that cognitive performance might be altered by the respiratory-
synchronized activity generated in the brain. Previous human studies, however, have …

Tort et al.(2018a) provide a timely review of the growing body of evidence implicating
respiration-entrained oscillations as a distinctive class of rhythmic brain activity. In rodents …

When people focus attention or carry out a demanding task, their breathing changes. But
which parameters of respiration vary exactly and can respiration reliably be used as an …
