Biofeedback explained

Biofeedback is an exciting field that combines physiology and psychology. The biofeedback technique uses electronics to detect and amplify internal body activities too subtle for normal awareness. Once you are able to observe these activities, you can then learn to modify them. Because you learn immediately whether you have succeeded or not, you can gradually teach yourself to produce desired results. Listen to your skin. One of the principal ways your body reacts to tension and stress is through your skin and what scientists call galvanic skin response. This galvanic skin response, or GSR, is a reflection of variations in your sweat gland activity and pore size, both of which are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. When you become excited, frightened or disturbed to any degree, the system activates chemical and physical changes throughout your body. Your GSR level also changes. Your skin resistance increases when you are calm and relaxed. As you tense up, your skin resistance decreases. By enabling you to hear those increases and decreases, the GSR meter can give you a new awareness of the internal state of your mind and body, and help you develop the ability to control tension and stress. Psychologists have been monitoring the electrical resistance of the skin to gauge nervous system activity for over 100 years. The GSR meter was developed together with Professor Eddie Wolff, a Clinical neuro psychologist with many years of experience in Bio feedback related products.  Most important, the GSR meter is so reliable, durable, affordable and simple to use, it has brought the benefits of biofeedback training within reach of virtually everyone. Now in use around the world, the GSR meter has been well accepted by leading medical, educational, athletic and social institutions.
