The display gene rator producing display information representing a displayable image includi ng a first object having a first position determined as a function of the th oracic volume data and a second object having a second position determined a s a function of the target breathing pattern and the thoracic volume data. T he displayable image is designed such that when displayed on the display dev ice the displayable image encourages the subject viewing the displayable ima ge to modify respiration.
