* This [[AuthorAppeal appears in many]] of Vonda N [=McIntyre's=] books, including both ''Literature/{{Dreamsnake}}'' and the ''Starfarers'' quartet.

* ''Series/TheBionicWoman'' (1970s) episode "Biofeedback", which had a guest character who could use biofeedback to control his own bodily functions.

* In ''Series/TheInvisibleMan'' series pilot, Darien is having trouble consciously controlling his [[AppliedPhlebotinum Quicksilver gland]], which is activated by adrenaline. This is hilariously shown when he tries to spy on a soldier and a nurse getting it on and reappears at an inopportune moment (which the soldier did not appreciate). His brother teaches him some basic yoga techniques to allow him to not only appear and disappear at will but to also selectively make parts of his body invisible. He also learns to secrete Quicksilver on small objects, making them temporarily invisible as well.
** This is brought up in a later episode where his brother's [=RNA=] is injected into the gland, allowing him to temporarily take control of Darien's body ([[YouFailBiologyForever don't ask]]). He also has trouble controlling the gland at first.
