Abstract
A subject is prompted to consciously alter one or more breathing parameters of respiration. To prompt the subject to alter one or more breathing parameters, a pressurized flow of breathable gas is provided to the airway of the subject. One or more gas parameters of the gas in the pressurized flow of breathable gas are adjusted to provide breathing cues to the subject that encourage the subject to consciously adjust respiration such that the one or more breathing parameters are altered. Information is also conveyed to the subject through a user interface that dynamically provides information to the subject about the breathing cues.
