How do skin conductance and heart rate rhythms measure stress?

Stress or excitement

 
Sympathetic nervous system activation

 
  • Increase in sweat gland activity
  • Increase in skin conductance
  • Increase in heart rate


 

  • Breathing is rapid (12-18 breaths per minute) and irregular
  • Heart rate changes are sharp and sporadic

 

Relaxation or stillness

 
Parasympathetic nervous system activation (or lack of sympathetic activation)

 
  • Decrease in sweat gland activity
  • Decrease in skin conductance
  • Decrease in heart rate


 

  • Breathing is slow (6 breaths per minute), smooth and regular
  • Heart rate changes are rhythmical and smooth

Dual Drive Pro helps you to learn to change your heart rate rhythms and skin conductance by playing an off-road racing game that makes learning to relax fun!

How does playing these games teach me to relax?
