Brain speed varies with each breath
A recent study has revealed that the speed of the human brain changes with different breathing phases, being slower during inhalation and faster during exhalation and the pauses between breaths. Researchers from Northwestern University in the United States conducted an experiment on 35 healthy adults, and the results showed that the response time to visual stimuli varies by about 40.9 milliseconds between inhaling and exhaling, even after controlling for other factors. The findings suggest a potential link between brain activity patterns and breathing rhythm, although the study did not definitively prove that consciously controlling one's breathing can accelerate human responses in daily life.
