AB  - This pilot study examines the effect of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback 
      on measures of electroencephalogram (EEG) during and immediately after 
      biofeedback. Eighteen healthy males exposed to work-related stress, were 
      randomised into an HRV biofeedback (BIO) or a comparative group (COM). EEG was 
      recorded during the intervention and during rest periods before and after the 
      intervention. Power spectral density in theta, alpha and beta frequency bands and 
      theta/beta ratios were calculated. During the intervention, the BIO group had 
      higher relative theta power [Fz and Pz (p < 0.01), Cz (p < 0.05)], lower 
      fronto-central relative beta power (p < 0.05), and higher theta/beta [Fz and Cz 
      (p < 0.01), Pz (p < 0.05)] than the COM group. The groups showed different 
      responses after the intervention with increased posterior theta/beta (p < 0.05) 
      in the BIO group and altered posterior relative theta (p < 0.05), central 
      relative beta (p = 0.06) and central-posterior theta/beta (p < 0.01) in the 
      post-intervention rest period. The findings of this study suggest that a single 
      session of HRV biofeedback after a single training session was associated with 
      changes in EEG suggestive of increased internal attention and relaxation both 
      during and after the intervention. However, the comparative intervention was 
      associated with changes suggestive of increased mental effort and possible 
      anxiety during and after the intervention.
