By measuring changes in the electrical properties of the skin, the device can detect changes in the body’s level of physiological activation, or arousal, with high precision. A software application provides immediate visual feedback on these changes in the form of waves. The figure below shows four consecutive screen images seen by a person who is successfully regulating their emotional state.
