Sympathetic nervous system activity in stress and biofeedback relaxation.

Sympathetic nervous system activity in stress and biofeedback relaxation.

This article describes several studies on the measurement of slow rhythms in the heart and in peripheral vasculature and their relationship to stress and relaxation. These studies are preliminary steps in an attempt to quantify stress and relaxation. Mental stress is a major, well-documented factor...
