Preparing The Heart for Duty: Virtual Reality Biofeedback in an Arousing Action Game Improves in-action Voluntary Heart Rate Variability Control in Experienced Police

Abstract

Adequate control over evolutionary engrained bodily stress reactions is essential to avoid23 disproportionate responses during highly arousing situations in police. This regulation can be trained24 via heart rate variability (HRV)-biofeedback, a widely used intervention aiming to improve stress25 regulation, but typically conducted under passive, low arousing conditions. We integrated closed26 loop HRV-biofeedback in a newly designed engaging …
