May aid voluntary heart rate increases but not decreases; leaves open distinct mechanisms and clinical utility of auditory biofeedback.
RCT (n=50)
Does auditory feedback improve the self-control of heart rate?
Auditory feedback assists in voluntarily raising heart rate but not in lowering it, suggesting different mechanisms for heart rate acceleration and deceleration.
Young et al. (1974) reported an RCT. Auditory feedback vs. No feedback was evaluated on Self-control of heart rate (raising or lowering). Auditory feedback aided subjects in raising heart rate relative to no feedback, but did not yield an advantage in lowering it.
