Biofeedback with the eSense Skin Response!
The Mindfield eSense Skin Response is a small sensor to measure your skin conductance using two electrodes and the microphone input of your smartphone or tablet (Android or Apple iOS.)
Your skin conductance depends directly on your state of relaxation or stress, making it a commonly used and very precise stress indicator. With the eSense Skin Response, you can precisely identify your stress level and reduce it with biofeedback training.
The eSense provides you in various ways with exact feedback about your momentary stress level, e.g. with measurement curves, video display and audio feedback features.The app for eSense is free, and allows exporting the measured data via e-mail.
For the audio features, the eSense has a headphone jack now, so you can additionaly listen to music or audio books while training your stress level down!
Systems:
• Apple® iPhone® (3GS and higher)
• Apple® iPad® (first generation and higher)
• Apple® iPod touch® (fourth generation and higher)
• Android Smartphones and Tablets (Version 2.3 or higher)
Your Android device needs a 3.5 mm input (standard headphone-type connector) for external microphones.
Technical notes:
• Measurement at 10 Hz (10 values per second).
• Five values per second (averaged) are stored in the app and can be exported via e-mail. In the resulting CSV file, five rows represent one second of data.
• Resolution: 18bit, rounded to 2 digits after the decimal point. Not rounded for export to CSV.

Background information on skin response
The perspiratory glands of the skin are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, making their activity a good indicator for stress and activity. This effect is easily visible through the immediate increase in skin conductance following a stimulus. Stimulus can be mental or emotional strain, or taking a sudden, deep breath, or a startling action like someone unexpectedly clapping his or her hands. With eSense, you will see the effects easily!
Conscious control of physiological stress can help you to react more relaxed and more efficiently to many situations. Biofeedback is an established way to learn this kind of control.
Reduce your stress level effectively with the eSense Skin Response everywhere with your iOS or Android device!
Significance of skin conductance and biofeedback training
In the professional therapeutic area, the skin conductance training is the preferred biofeedback training for anxiety, panic and the learning of relaxation.
The sweat glands are controlled by the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic) and respond directly to the slightest emotional, physical and mental changes. The increase in skin conductance is clearly visible under the action of a stress stimulus. This stimulus can, for example, mental activity, emotional excitement, deep breathing, or even be a fright. Even the smallest changes can be made visible with the help of the app and can be used for a Bioffeedbacktraining for stress reduction. Comes with detailed instructions in the free app.
