The Science Behind emWave2
The emWave2 analyzes our heart rhythm, measured by Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which indicates how emotional states are affecting our nervous system. HRV offers a unique window into the quality of communication between the heart and brain, which directly impacts how we feel and perform.
The emWave2 is optimized to ensure accurate HRV and Coherence measurement.
Use emWave2 on the go as a portable training device and for session storage.
Run sessions on your computer and watch your coherence in real-time.
Download your stored on the go sessions for graphical review and comparison.
Interactive Coherence Coach® teaches you a key HeartMath self-regulation technique.
Four challenge levels include an Advanced User mode.
Adjustable LED display brightness and audio feedback.
A variety of coherence-building tools make sessions more entertaining.



HRV & Coherence

Using a pulse sensor plugged into your emWave2 collects pulse data and translates coherence information into light patterns and user–friendly graphics displayed on your computer screen. emWave2 helps you create a coherent state through coherence techniques, interactive exercises and games, building resilience, increasing energy, and promoting focus, mental clarity and emotional balance.

How does the ear sensor work?

The sensor uses a minute amount of infrared light to measure the speed of blood flow in the ear. The sensor sends this signal to the emWave2 unit where the inter-beat interval is calculated in milliseconds and then heart rate variability is plotted. The amount of infrared light used in the measuring process is extremely small, safe and completely undetectable.
