Lesa, Dr. Oded, Thank you for the thought-provoking question and the resources. I have found Dr. Peper's and Dr. Khazan's books to be immensely valuable. From my advanced user perspective, I've found that SCL (along with HRV) can be low in responsiveness and maintain a very low flatline reading base...

HI Emile & friends, Somatic Vision has 2 new devices which you can use. The most comprehensive one is the GP8 Hardware system which not only brings in Skin Temperature -- as you mentioned, but can also add in 2 channel ECG, EMG (muscle tension) and a Respiratory Breathing Sensor. I think these a...

I agree, Lesley. The Alive Environments can allow us to easily and quickly find a state of relaxation. For me, they also can take me to that rhythmic breathing pace which fosters better health - for the moment, and for long term.

Hi Abhijeet, This is an idea which I will test and verify for effectiveness. And, can be useful in more situations. As you become more experienced, another option would be to move or delete individual sessions of a User from the Alive Sessions Folder in your Document Folder. This would be similar to...

There is mounting evidence of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as both an indicator of health, vitality and function and capable of being trained to increase both mental and physical performance levels.

There are a lot of options in the Alive realm of games, environments and workshops. Which are your favorites? Do you use them in a professional setting? What ones are the most popular? The most useful in a general sense? Personally, I've always found the Incoming Tides in Alive Environments to be a ...

As Somatic Vision extends its array of software titles, such as the new Dreamscapes and Arcade Game Packages, it would be helpful for the experienced users to share which games they like the best, and which age groups or personality types will appreciate best. For example, Dreamscapes is simply an a...

I believe that there is some gray area in this question and answer. The IOM finger sensors with the Pioneer can measure and use BVP. You can use a Dual Sensor Upgrade (I believe) such that your Pioneer software can read both the IOM or the GP8 sensor - just not simultaneously. I believe this is the ...

For our therapist offices and friends,
Does anyone have insight as to how to best apply billing codes for biofeedback related services, and how to separate these in the costing?

Thanks!

Here are some of the more pertinent links I could find for a new, inexperienced user of the Windows Emulation programs for Mac use of Somatic Vision software (or any other Windows software). These are basic support pages from Apple, a product page for Parallels (bootcamp is included with Mac for fre...
