Abstract: It is an object of the invention to improve a user's breathing for a specific application (e.g. diagnostic imaging, falling asleep improvement (shortening sleep onset), delivery, tinnitus control therapy, CORD, blood pressure control). This object is achieved by a breathing adaptation system configured for influencing a breathing parameter of a user's breathing pattern in order to meet a goal of decreasing or increasing the influenced breathing parameter to a certain extent in a user specific manner. The breathing adaptation system comprises a sensor, configured for monitoring a current value of the influenced breathing parameter of the user. The breathing adaptation system further comprises a feedback unit configured for providing feedback to the user about a preferred value of the influenced breathing parameter, wherein the preferred value is different from the current value of the influenced breathing parameter (310).
