Celebrating 43 years of interest groups, international symposia, and meetings.

ISARP 2025 Program

The annual meeting of the “International Society for the Advancement of Respiratory Psychophysiology” (ISARP) focuses on the interrelationships between psychological and physiological aspects of respiration in health and disease. Both fundamental research and clinical applications are welcome. The conference provides an ideal opportunity for both early-career and established researchers from various fields related to respiration to present their current research. A major aim is to get into contact with other specialists from these diverse fields and to exchange knowledge and ideas in a pleasant and supportive atmosphere.

Key words for commonly presented topics include, but are not limited to: “breathing and psychological states/traits”, “neural processing of breathing and breathlessness”, “respiration and cognitive, sensory and emotional processing”, “interoception”, “heart rate variability”, “vagal stimulation”, “respiratory training and rehabilitation”, “cough, swallowing and dysregulated breathing” and “asthma, COPD and dysfunctional breathing”. 

We look forward to seeing you in Reykjavík!

  Preliminary work, new theoretical contributions, or new experimental set-ups will be considered too.  

• Thematic symposium: A focused session providing an in-depth perspective on an active research area within the broad field of respiratory psychophysiology.
  Symposium submissions should include at least one chair and three to five presenters. 

Abstracts should be submitted through the online submission portal. When preparing an abstract, please follow the instructions below: 

1. For an individual presentation, please submit an abstract of up to 1600 characters (including spaces). Abstracts should be written in English and structured into Background, Methods, Results, and Discussion. 

2. For a thematic symposium, please submit a general description of the symposium (1600 characters, including spaces) as well as abstracts for all the individual talks, each with a maximum of 1600 characters. The abstracts for the talks should be structured into Background, Methods, Results, and Discussion. 

For all submission types: 

• The corresponding author must be identified when submitting an abstract. The corresponding author who submits an abstract is responsible
  for forwarding all received information to other authors.  

• Proofread your submission! Please ensure your abstract does not contain spelling, grammar, or scientific mistakes,
  as it will be reproduced exactly as submitted. 

• All accepted abstracts will be published in Biological Psychology as proceeds of the Meeting.

Abstracts including students as main presenters should indicate this in the abstract submission to ensure
eligibility for the Best Student Presentation award and Student Travel award.
