“…That is, for some subjects changes in heart rate may be associated with respiratory changes, while for other subjects heart-rate increases and decreases may be associated with changes in muscle tension, etc. Such idiosyncratic response patterns have been noted by a number of other researchers during a variety of tasks (McCanne & Sandman, 1976). In the context of the present study, the individual differences in response patterning suggest that there may be fundamental differences between subjects in neurobiological organization.…”

“…There has been a considerable amount of experimentation conducted in order to elucidate more specifically the events related to the mediation of operant heart-rate changes. However, much of this research has produced equivocal results (see McCanne & Sandman, 1976, for a review of the literature). For example, Obrist and his colleagues have noted that changes in heart rate during classical conditioning and reaction time tasks are associated with changes in other somatic-muscular variables such as chin muscle activity, eyeblinks, and respiratory rate and depth (Obrist, Webb, Sutterer, & Howard, 1970a, b).…”

“…Differences in the experimental procedures associated with hypnosis which may have affected the outcome of studies on autonomic responses have been emphasized [1]. It should also be noted that individuals differ in the magnitude of their responses to a variety of stimuli and that each subject responds preferentially through a specific autonomic nervous system variable [7,15,16,18]. Similar individual differences may also be present during hypnotic experiences, thus making it important to monitor a number of autonomic responses during hypnosis [1].…”

“…In this report, data from three experiments are applied to an examination of individual differences in ability to control heart rate (HR). The increasing interest in the issue of individual differences can be seen in two recent reviews of the literature on voluntary control of HR (McCanne & Sandman, 1976;Williamson & Blanchard, 1979), both of which give it considerable emphasis. From a historical perspective, the original concerns in the human literature mirrored those of the early animal literature, namely, demonstrating the phenomenon of operant conditioning or control of HR and determining its specificity relative to skeletal, respiratory, and nonchronotropic cardiac functions.…”
