To help you achieve a steady and optimal breathing rhythm the app plays an animation; you breathe in (inhale) as the circles grow larger and breathe out (exhale) as the circles become smaller. The animation is programmed to help you achieve six breath cycles per minute, which is the scientifically proven optimal breath cycle to optimize your HRV.

FAQ & troubleshooting
This problem sometimes occurs when the Polar is not paired correctly. A two step solution:
First: reset your Polar device:
Remove the battery from your Polar and press the metal snaps that attach to the strap with your thumbs or fingers for 30 seconds. Wait another sixty seconds before re-inserting the battery.
Second: Pair the Polar device using the Polar Beat app. After pairing you’ll see the settings screen where the toggles for “Visibility”, “Gymlink” and “ANT+” should be switched to the “on” position. You can then exit the Polar Beat app and open Heart Brain Connect, and through setup reconnect to the Polar device. If you run the Assess suite, the ECG graph line should be visible.
