This lesson demonstrates the principles of biofeedback training for relaxation purposes. The student will record and view ECG, heart rate, and electrodermal activity (EDA). Subjects control the position of a vertical bar graph by influencing their heart rate and EDA. As heart rate increases, the bar moves up; if the heart beats slower, the bar moves down. A separate bar moves up as EDA increases and down as EDA decreases.
Introduce the concept of biofeedback training for relaxation.
Measure levels of arousal via heart rate and electrodermal activity.
BSL Lessons are designed to allow at least four students to record and save data in a normal lab period (60-90 minutes). Typically, labs work most efficiently with three or more students working together at each BSL station.

Projection-based virtual reality is a powerful immersive medium that makes it easy to utilize VR for research and training. With unobtrusive wireless sensing technology, researchers can easily measure physiological and behavioral responses.
You Will Learn To:
• Understand key principles of combing virtual reality + physiological data recording
• Mark events from the simulation into the physiological record
• Access physiological data in the VR environment for biofeedback and control
• Set up a projection-based VR simulation room
• Analyze the resulting data
