Abstract: The 11th Annual Meeting of the International Association for Advancement of Respiratory Psychophysiology took place in Princeton, NJ, on October 17-19, 2004. A number of papers focused on behavioral aspects of respiratory disease, including the overlap between asthma and panic disorder. A number of papers were given on heart rate variability and baroreflex control, including studies on the genetic and central neural mechanisms of heart rate variability. A number of papers, including an invited symposium, were devoted to dyspnea and respiratory symptom perception: its physiology and neurophysiology, ways to measure it, and both emotional and behavioral influences on dyspnea and, generally, self-report of respiratory symptoms. Theoretical papers given on mechanism included the role of nitric oxide in asthma, autonomic modulation in respiratory and heart rate variability biofeedback, hyperventilation in chronic fatigue syndrome, and the impact of Yoga practice on breath holding time and pulmonary function.
