Abstract:
:Fourteen subjects learned to adjust their breath pattern to two target breaths displayed on a video screen, by using visual feedback, during two sessions 24 h apart. These two targets were respectively the smallest and the largest breaths of a ten-breath sample previously recorded from each subject's resting spontaneous breathing. Performances were significantly better for the large than for the small target breath. This cannot be directly inferred from current knowledge related to the control of movement time and amplitude, but rather it may be inferred from the periodic character of breathing, to the higher mental load during the small breath task, or to the presumably different frequencies of target breaths in the whole span of spontaneous breathing. In the second session, performance on the two targets levelled out as a result of learning.
