Can confirm. My mind tends to race sometimes, especially after caffeine consumption. It's hard to get it to "shut up". I held my breath as a simple experiment and it helped quiet down my mind. I actually learned this trick from Huberman, there's a podcast about stress where he talks about this.
This is really cool! Would be great to see how things like meditation and anxiety attacks fare over time. I know the Apple Watch can also do ECG. Wonder if they expose similar data to get similar measures
I am a long time Garmin user, and sync to runalyze, when paired with a hear rate chest strap, they also calculate a breathing rate
Hmm, dumps core for me; happy to help debug if you point me in the right direction. All I get is:
zsh: abort python DHYB.py --record-len 600

The Polar H10 heart rate monitor provides basic heart rate measurements from a chest strap ECG, compatible with a number of fitness tracking apps that monitor heart rate zones wirelessly using bluetooth. The device also provides raw sensor data including an accurate measure of the timing between heartbeats (interbeat interval, with millisecond resolution) and 200 Hz accelerometer data. In this project this information is used to measure breathing rate and heart rate variability, and explore the relationship between the two.
