USC School of Gerontology researchers are investigating whether heart rate biofeedback helps to improve functioning of cardiovascular control systems in the brain that help regulate emotions, improves well-being and reduces stress, anxiety, and depressed feelings.
We seek healthy adults between the ages of 55-80 who are willing to stick with a program for 7 weeks, do daily practice of the heart rate biofeedback every day, and come in for 2-4 hour weekly group visits to the lab. Volunteers will complete several emotion and cognitive tasks as well as undergo 2 MRI scans.
Compensation: $15/hour for each lab visit. Opportunity to earn more based on home biofeedback practice completion and performance.
