The research on exploring signal processing of respiration focuses on the time-frequency characterization of various types of conscious breathing and respiration techniques. Respiratory signals provide vital clues to an individual's physiological and psychological state, with different breathing patterns having unique signatures in the time-frequency domain. Conscious breathing techniques, such as deep breathing, rhythmic breathing, and yogic pranayama, have been associated with varying effects on the autonomic nervous system and mental well-being.
Utilizing signal processing techniques, we aim to analyze and interpret these signals to understand the physiological and psychological impacts of various conscious breathing practices. The application of time-frequency analysis techniques, such as Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) and Wavelet Transform, allows for the simultaneous examination of how these signal components change over time and frequency. For instance, the variations in frequency components over time during a session of slow deep breathing or during a rapid breathing exercise could reveal insights into the dynamics of cardio-respiratory synchronization and other physiological responses. This research would not only contribute to the scientific understanding of conscious breathing and respiration techniques but could also inform the design of breathing interventions for stress management, cardiorespiratory health, and mindfulness training.
