The term "coherence" in physiology has many different meanings and is sometimes also used rather popularly mainly for promotional purposes.

The definition of physiological coherence as measured with the CardioGem (heart) and NeuroGem (brain) is based on how biology is believed to function on a very fundamental level. This is not a mechanical or chemical principle, it is based on how waves interact in a constructive and harmonious and therefore mutually empowering way.

This is called wave matrix physics or wave matrix physiology and is most clearly reflected in the ECG and EEG signals. That is why our personal experience and psychology are most directly connected to our heart and brain, respectively.

Therefore also, physiological coherence based on wave matrix physics does not mean coherence among or between common physiological functions (like heart - breathing, heart - brain or between parts of the brain), but coherence purely among waves themselves.

The principle of measuring wave matrix coherence in physiology (heart and brain) is called "spectral geometry". Whereas the underlying principle is precisely the same for the heart and brain, the way of measuring it, that is, the type of spectral geometry, is very different in each case. In case of the heart, the term Internal Cardiac Coherence ("ICC") is also used. The term "harmonic inclusiveness" means approximately the same, but is mostly used for the tachogram (heart rate trend) or its spectrum, called the HRV (heart rate variability) spectrum.

The benefits of spectral geometry in heart and brain physiology are twofold. Firstly, it helps to gain a very refreshing and straightforward insight in individual psychology, with therapeutic or generally mental and emotional benefits. Secondly, you can actually measure it, and use that for pre-assessment, progress diagnosis and also training.

Whereas heart and brain spectral geometry are different, also there are two main different types in each case. The precise psychological correlations are not discussed here, however the science of wave matrix physiology reveals some fascinating new insights in heart - brain connection, which may be nice to demonstrate.

Commonly, "thinking" and "intelligence" are attributed to the brain, whereas "feeling" and "empathy" is the heart's specialty. Therefore, a person can be thought of as rather "being in the head" or "being in the heart". In truth, nature works a bit more sophisticated. Also the heart can "think" whereas the brain can "feel" (not meaning to refer to the emotional centers in the brain), which creates interesting, dynamic back and forth interaction between heart and brain.

The end effect is, in short, that the brain provides the "raw material" for the heart's passion and empathy, but also helps it to evolve and come to actual fruition. The latter stages form the complementary, phases of progressive integration and symmetry, and are the core of the wave matrix physiology of the coherent heart - brain connection.

As mentioned before, the spectral geometry, that is, the way of analyzing coherence in physiology, is quite different for the heart and brain. This is embedded in the algorithms of the CardioGem and NeuroGem, along with the subsequent evaluation and statistics modules.

The CardioGem and NeuroGem are high-end applications with fascinating possibilities. However we have sought an optimal balance between technology and skill, between "hard data" and flexible interpretation, between fixed principles and creativity. Therefore, the optimal use of the applications is with a therapists or trainer who has the psychological experience and intuition to use the insights of wave matrix physiology and the diagnostic possibilities to the maximum benefit of his or her client.
