HOW TO USE THE COUPLES / GROUPS APPLICATION
Group Cardio-Respiratory Synchrony (RSA)
Match respiration waves with HR waves
-for 2, 3 or 4 persons.
Group Cardio-Arousal 'Harmony" Detection:
Match HR Waves with includes of acute arousal (Temp and Skin Conductance). For 2, 3, or 4 persons.
Teams, too
Couples-Families
Groups
There are two versions within this Software series:
The version for the C2-Plus 12 is for 4 persons.
It can also be used for 3 persons.
It can also be used for 2 persons.
The difference is in the number of channels hooked up to each person.
PROTOCOLS are completely different for Couples and other Groups, compared to individual biofeedback training.
PROTOCOLS
This is an emerging area for social bio-technology. So far few traditional 'feedback providers have found a 'spark' to ignite their own explorations in this area. Use this application for research on biofeedback dealing with detection of awareness, denial of anger, anger management itself, and couples and family crisis research.
Sports trainers of all kinds are looking closely at this area, and often contact us about doing research in their area. Contact us with your ideas.
Feedback is also different. You need a display for every participant. Usually the operator is not part of the couple or group and watches all signals on amaster screen. The event maybe video taped and played back. This may include a video of the physiology or an audio of an arousal event.
There are two screen types:
1. Raw Signal Screens - traditional screens showing one or two signals per person.
2. 'matching Screens - slimmed down screens showing Bars when a signal is in the relaxation direction, and abottom bar - here a white bar - when both persons show relaxation. Of course you can invert the protocol to show arousal rather than relaxation.
