EMOTION & BIOFEEDBACK CLASS

RECORDING

CONTENT: Enjoy and benefit from these 4 easy-to-digest lessons recorded live from Portugal and Michigan in January 2012. These lesson recordings provide a complete introduction to the use of surface Electromyography and Skin Conductance, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and Electroencephalography (EEG) used to measure emotions. Measures of facial muscles show the valence (direction) of the emotion (happy versus sad) and skin conductance shows the strength of the emotion. This real-time information is used in marketing research and might also be useful in clinical practice. Lesson 1 shows how a simple small biofeedback device can be used in the clinic to display the skin conductance, and surface EMG measures during a session. Clients can also be trained in biofeedback by just showing a movie, cartoons or play music to help patients relax using the same signals. The class recordings include live, online demonstrations of how to biofeedback equipment can be used to recognize and record physiological indicatators related to emotions. The class includes references to the latest research.

SPONSORS: Hands-on classroom demonstrations include examples of the use of specific products. In this recording you see the BFE Limited Edition Emotions Suite, BioGraph Infiniti software, and Thought Technology Infiniti hardware. If you do NOT own or have access to these items, the class recordings will still be of value to you.

STANDARDS: To view class recordings on Mac computers specialized plugins for the .wmv format are required. These are not provided by the BFE. The purpose of the recordings is to familiarize the learner with the clinical methods and latest evidence base research to support the use of biofeedback devices to measure emotions. The recorded version may include questions and answers from participants. Every effort has been made to ensure the highest standards of education. All views expressed in the recording are solely those of the presenters and participants and not those of the program.
