I can also measurable lower my heart rate by conscious effort alone
I read somewhere a while back that people can learn to do this with training and a visualization. If you have a heart rate monitor that shows different color shades depending on your rate, apparently people can learn focus on making the color turn green and lowering their heart rate.
I do it by focusing on my torso and in my head decelerate it, I guess it’s similar. Also, a guy I know can do it through breathing technique, and I suspect breathing is part of my deceleration too.
