Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., is Director of Research of the HeartMath Research Center at the HeartMath Institute. As a psycho-physiologist, Dr. McCraty’s research interests include the physiology of emotion, heart-brain communication, and the global interconnectivity between people and the earth’s energetic systems. Findings from this research have been applied to the development of tools and technology to optimize individual and organizational health, intuition, performance, and quality of life. Dr. McCraty has acted as Principal Investigator in numerous studies examining the effects of emotions on heart–brain interactions and on autonomic, cardiovascular, hormonal, and immune system function, and outcome studies to determine the benefits of positive emotion-focused interventions and heart rhythm coherence feedback in diverse organizational, educational, and various clinical populations. He has been featured in a number of documentary films such as I am, The Truth, The Power of the Heart, Solar Revolution, The Way of Miracles, Cosmic Sentience, The 1-Field, Sacred Journey of the Heart, Rescued Hearts, and The Living Matrix, among many others.
