[Interactive guided breathing technology].

OBJECT: Scientific guided breathing technology is to be studied based on the cardiopulmonary interaction. METHODS: Heart rate variability was used as the target function to study the smoothly respiratory relaxation procedure in order to acquire the common pattern of regular and slow breathing. RESULTS: Music based on the acquired common pattern was created and a musical pattern temporally-related to the breathing movement monitored by a sensor could be chosen to guide the breathing interactively.
