This review is from: Hyperventilation Syndrome: Research and Clinical Treatment (Johns Hopkins Series in Contemporary Medicine and Public Health) (Hardcover)

Author Bob Fried is an expert, par extraordinaire on respiratory psychophysiology and self regulation. He presents a model here which characterizes a common problem afflicting many people who go undiagnosed. The book clearly discusses the etiology, physiology and approaches to addressing hyperventilation syndrome.

If you are a biofeedback practitioner, this is a valuable book for your library. If you are a neurofeedback practitioner, it's worth taking a look at this. Breath affects brain.

Fried has presented at the Futurehealth Winter Brain meeting I organize, clearly showing how much of brainwave slowing is directly due to decreased cerebral blood oxygenation. That's breath affected EEG.
