Respiration and Emotion
Gasps, sighs, and yawns are recognized by even a casual observer as involuntary expressions of emotion through the "medium" of respiration. In recent years, scientific observation has focused on sensation and behavior as researchers investigate the relati

Preface
Brain research has made progress from technological developments in the field of neuroscience and cognitive neuropsychology; cognition and emotions corresponding to local neuronal activity are revealed scientifically. Emotions are the result of activity within the brain. In addition, their expression always is accompanied by physiological activity such as changes in perspiration, heart rate, and respiration. In other words, emotions are mirrored in physiological responses. In respiratory physiology, interest in sensation-related respiratory dysfunction has focused on the effect of the higher centers of the brain on respiratory activity. Research on respiratory dysfunctions such as asthma, panic disorder, and hyperventilation syndrome cannot neglect the role of the forebrain and limbic system, however. This book contains material from the International Interdisciplinary Symposium on Respiration: Respiration and Emotion, held in Tokyo July 23-25, 1999. The aim of the symposium was to present and discuss with people from many countries respiration from many aspects: physiology, psychology, behavioral medicine, and other fields. Not only does the book provide contributions from a scientific approach to respiration, but this research also presents traditional thought regarding breathing as expressed in the Japanese arts.
