Introducing Journey Mode to the Yudemon HRV Biofeedback App — Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training — also known as resonance breathing — uses breathing as a powerful method for training your autonomic nervous system, boosting your stress-resilience, adaptability, and overall mental and physical performance. The optimal breathing rate that triggers the biggest training effect, the so called resonance frequency…

The Yudemon HRV app just got a second soundscape modulation option — Audio filters — circuits that cut (or boost) particular frequency ranges of an audio signal — are among the most fundamental and versatile tools in electronic music. They form the basis of subtractive synthesis, pioneered by Bob Moog, in which a rich audio signal (like a sawtooth wave) is slowly…

Adding a new way to customize and modulate soundscapes to the Yudemon HRV app — Imagine a soundscape that breathes with you as you practice resonance breathing. That’s essentially what the most recent Yudemon HRV app update offers. Customizable soundscapes — specifically designed for heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training and resonance breathing — are at the heart of the Yudemon experience. …

I am super happy to finally announce the launch of Yudemon HRV for iOS. You can download the app here. While it doesn’t yet include the genuine real-time biofeedback capabilities I’ve been developing, it…

A recent study shows that auditory stimuli and narratives have a clear and reproducible effect on our heart rate — No one will be too surprised to hear that certain aspects of stories — say a surprise scare in a horror movie — can influence our physiology, specifically our heart rate. What is however more interesting is the result of a recent study published in Cell Reports which showed that…
