biofeedback training system - accurate as many clinical models, yet
extremely easy to use. Lightweight,

How it works :
The ThoughtStream™ measures the tiny changes in your skin
resistance values which are associated with shifts in your mood, mental
state and level of arousal. It can work with or without being connected
to your computer. The information it measures is fed back to you in
real time on its unique four-color display and audio output.
(headphones) These signals can also be sent via the computer interface
for use with the Mental Games software. It analyzes these signals so
that you can control what happens on-screen.
GSR
and Biofeedback
Biofeedback
is a process in which a person learns to consciously
control physiological processes that are not ordinarily under voluntary
control. It has long been accepted as one of the most effective tools
available for the control of stress and personal growth.
The
patterns of our response to emergencies probably emerged during the
time when all humans faced actual physical threats to their
survival. Although the "threats" we now live with are seldom
physical, the body still reacts as if they were.
Actual and perceived stressful events can produce strong emotions,
which arouse certain physical responses from the sympathetic nervous
system - the network of nerve tissues that helps prepare the body to
meet emergencies by "flight or fight." Some of us are more
sensitive to the flight-or-fight response than others.
When we sense danger, our bodies release stress hormones, and our heart
rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension increase. While this response
is useful when we really are in danger and need to respond, it can be a
problem if we do not learn how to respond to ordinary stresses in a
healthy way and can lead to feeling chronically "stressed."
Behavior, thoughts, and feelings influence our whole mind/body system.
Individual physical responses to stress can become habitual. When the
body is repeatedly aroused, one or more functions may become
permanently overactive.
Tiny fluctuations in skin moisture associated with emotional states,
stress and the degree of arousal will actually change the
skin's electrical resistance, this is your Galvanic Skin Response (GSR).
The ThoughtStream™ measures Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) via
a compact palm sensor and presents these changes to you by both audio
and visual means. You learn to lower the pitch of a sound heard through
headphones or make the LED's on the display console turn from red to
green. For more comprehensive training use the included Mental Games
multimedia software to fine-tune your ability to relax and focus at the
same time.
Simple and
effective, your ThoughtStream™ personal biofeedback system
teaches you how to control your responses to stress. Become more aware
of your responses, and you can be more comfortable and in control - you
can learn to change inappropriate reactions, be more relaxed and
productive.
