This study shows that respiration enhances perceptual sensitivity to near-threshold visual stimuli by modulating arousal, cortical excitability, and neural information flow.

This study maps the spatiotemporal relationship between gastric rhythm and cortical oscillations, revealing consistent phase-amplitude coupling across brain regions and frequencies.

This study examines how respiratory rhythms influence aperiodic brain activity during the wake-sleep cycle in humans, finding phase shifts and reduced variability in respiration-brain coupling during sleep transitions.

This study examines how respiration affects reaction times and multisensory integration during a detection task, finding that response timing aligns with respiratory phases and that multisensory integration is strongest during the expiration-to-inspiration transition.

This paper reports on respiration-modulated changes in excitation-inhibition balance and interictal spike timing in a focal epilepsy patient using MEG.
