This research has significantly advanced the understanding of heart-brain interactions, heart-rhythm-pattern and heart-rate-variability analyses, emotional physiology and the physiology of optimal learning and performance.

HeartMath’s research forms the foundation for the development of practical, scientifically validated emotional refocusing and repatterning technologies that enable people to significantly improve their health and vitality, performance and quality of life.

Expanding areas of interest include furthering scientific understanding of the human biofield, global coherence, intuition and the emotional energetic system.

There are numerous studies in progress, a sampling of which is available in the Featured Research section. The Research Center’s latest project is the development of the Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS), a major undertaking that is an important part of IHM’s Global Coherence Project.

The Research Center has teamed with internationally renowned astrophysicist and nuclear scientist Elizabeth Rauscher to design and build the GCMS to measure and explore fluctuations in the magnetic fields generated by the earth and ionosphere.

Previous research has shown that specific measures of the earth’s field can signal pending earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other major planetary events long before they occur.

Among the project’s goals are determining how the earth’s field influences human activity and conversely if collective human emotionality modulates the earth’s fields.

The IHM Research Center is committed to increasing the world’s body of scientific knowledge and promoting heart--based living and global coherence – the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the greater community of human beings."
