After the car­ni­val, which was fun but a bit of work, I will do an easy post…just came accross a good brief arti­cle on how a Coun­sel­ing cen­ter offers biofeed­back to help decrease stress.

We do see stress and anx­i­ety man­age­ment as inte­gral part of brain fit­ness. Some quotes from the article

- “The Savan­nah Col­lege of Art and Design Cen­ter for Stu­dent Coun­sel­ing and Dis­abil­ity Ser­vices offers stu­dents a unique oppor­tu­nity to decrease their stress lev­els — by using a biofeed­back machine called the Freeze-Framer.“
– “Col­lege stu­dents tend to have high lev­els of stress as a result of aca­d­e­mic and inde­pen­dence issues. In order to expe­ri­ence sus­tained relax­ation and be able to apply this state to stress­ful sit­u­a­tions, they may ben­e­fit from biofeed­back meth­ods such as the Freeze-Framer.”

- “The use of biofeed­back will help the stu­dent track progress and out­come mea­sures with an objec­tive instru­ment tool to facil­i­tate emo­tional well-being and aca­d­e­mic progress,” said Tamara Knapp-Grosz, Ph.D., direc­tor of the CSCDS.

We talked about this pro­gram here: Freeze-Framer for Stress Man­age­ment and Peak Per­for­mance. And you can learn more here at Freeze-Framer.

As Neal pointed out, research sup­ports the rela­tion­ship between heart rate vari­abil­ity (HRV; the mea­sure used by Freeze Framer) and emo­tional reg­u­la­tion (see Review of Gen­eral Psy­chol­ogy 2006, Vol. 10, No. 3, 229–240).
