Summary/Abstract: In recent years, in cognitive science (especially influenced by the concept of the embodied mind), have been emerging proposals to use phenomenology methods in the cognitive considerations, and overcome the so-called explanatory gap. Good examples of these proposals are neurophenomenology and front-loaded phenomenology, which have been briefly characterized. Next, I will describe the biofeedback (BF) HRV mechanism, which according to the hypothesis, may be an effective tool supporting the above attempts to implement phenomenology for neurobiological research. To sum up aim of this article is: presenting the first-person data problem in cognitive science; describing the exemplary methods and role of phenomenology in empirical research, and proposing BF HRV as an effective tool to achieve the psychophysiological state postulated by the above methods.
