Freeze-Framer FAQs
Question 1: What is the Freeze-Framer?
The Freeze-Framer® is a simple, easy to use interactive software program that displays your heart rhythms and shows you how stress may be affecting you. Much more than a heart monitor this revolutionary technology will help you transform stress and anxiety into free energy for personal and professional effectiveness.
Quickly and easily install the software, plug in the sensor and start to have fun with this new and unique interactive ability to see and control your body's most powerful system--the heart.
Question 2: What are the benefits of using the Freeze-Framer?
The Freeze-Framer has been designed to prevent, manage and reverse the effects of stress. Using our fingertip pulse sensor that plugs into the serial port of your computer you can watch in real time how thoughts and emotions affect your heart and autonomic nervous system. You will learn how to intentionally shift to a positive emotional state and will be able to see the changes in your heart rhythms immediately on your computer screen. These shifts in your heart rhythms create a favorable cascade of neural, hormonal and biochemical events that benefit the entire body and mind. Blood pressure drops. Stress hormones plummet. The immune system pumps up. Anti-aging hormones increase. You gain clarity, calmness and control. The effects are both immediate and long lasting.
HeartMath research has shown that emotions are reflected in our heart rhythm patterns. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), or heart rhythms, is recognized as a powerful, non-invasive measure that reflects heart-brain interactions and autonomic nervous system dynamics, which are particularly sensitive to changes in the emotional state. New clinical research identifies HRV as a key indicator of preventable stress and shows correlation with a broad range of related health problems.
Question 3: What is Freeze-Framer used for?
What would you like to improve? Your work performance; your school work; your golf game; your creative efforts; your health; your fitness; your work, home or social relationships; your peace of mind?
The overwhelming pace and intensity of life affect all of these things today. The Freeze-Framer technology can help you break through stress that's preventing you from feeling good, being in control, and achieving your goals.

Question 7: Is the Freeze-Framer® technology like biofeedback?
It is a type of biofeedback, however it is important to understand that there are many types of biofeedback which all feed back different aspects of physiological changes in our body. The simplest form of biofeedback is looking in a mirror and making different faces. The Freeze-Framer is quite different from other forms of technology-based biofeedback such as simple heart rate, skin conductance or brain waves. The Freeze-Framer is an education system that provides feedback of a person's heart rhythm patterns which, in turn, allows them to see and better understand how stress and different emotions are affecting their autonomic nervous system dynamics. It does this by measuring the naturally occurring changes in beat-to-beat heart rate, which is called heart rate variability (HRV) analysis, or simply, analysis of the heart rhythm. Whereas common methods of HRV analysis typically quantify the amount of variability in a given recording, additional information can be gained by heart rhythm pattern analysis, which is unique to the Freeze-Framer. Research has shown that sustained positive emotions lead to a highly efficient and regenerative functional mode associated with increased coherence in heart rhythm patterns and greater synchronization and harmony among physiological systems. The patented Freeze-Framer monitors heart rhythm patterns and helps people develop skills to maintain states of increased physiological coherence. The use of pulse wave sensors makes this technology extremely versatile, time-efficient, and easy to use in a wide variety of settings.
As people practice coherence building techniques, they can readily see and experience the changes in their heart rhythm patterns, which generally become less irregular, smoother, and more sine wave-like as the individual enters the coherent mode. This process enables individuals to easily develop an association between a shift to a more healthful and beneficial physiological mode and the positive internal feeling experience that induces such a shift. The Freeze-Framer also analyzes the heart rhythm patterns and calculates a coherence (referred to as "entrainment" in Version 1.0) ratio for each session. The coherence level is fed back to the user as an accumulated score or success in playing on-screen games designed to reinforce coherence building skills. The software also includes a multi-user database to store results and track one's progress.
Heart rhythm feedback trainers are currently utilized in medical, mental health, corporate, sports, and academic settings to improve clinical, psychological, and performance outcomes. This technology holds promise as a powerful and practical tool for the enhancement of health and human potential.
