Abstract: Since the early work of Pavlov and Anrep [1], it has been apparent that our most basic physiological processes are subject to experience-dependent changes. Additionally, these basic physiological processes, including our biological rhythms of heart rate and breathing, are under the influence of cognitive, sensory, and affective factors. For instance, heart rate orienting responses, the increase in heart beat frequency upon the perception of a novel/arousing stimulus, requires both the detection of the environmental stimulus and the cellular memory which “recognizes” that the stimulus is novel (e.g., [2, 3]). Major questions remain regarding the influence of cognitive, sensory, and affective processes on our biological rhythms and, relatedly, what roles these changes may then entail upon subsequent cognitive and sensory processing.
