Oxygen and how it works in the body.

It is possible with biofeedback to consciously change blood gas levels. To measure this you'd need an infa-red mass spectrometer (a clinical capnograph if it were c02 and a clinical oxometer if its oxygen). The biofeedback element counts as 'conscious' regulation. As for the utilisation of altered blood gases this should be easy enough to demonstrate if not to precisely quantify. They are taken as an index for a whole range of medical states and conditions. Okinawan Karate's Sanchin kata and Hung Gar's Iron Wire set both alter blood gas regulation, and the partial pressure of end tidal c02 (petC02) which is essentially indistinguishable from the arterial value, is itself a vital regulator of many systems in the body. C02 is not just a waste gas. Capnography is very accessible these days to researchers with a laptop and appropriate software.
