Biofeedback with the eSense Skin Response!
The Mindfield eSense Skin Response is a small sensor to measure your skin conductance using the microphone input of your smartphone or tablet (Android or Apple iOS). The skin conductance is related to tension and relaxation and is a common stress indicator. With the eSense Skin Response you can measure your stress level and effectively reduce it with biofeedback training. The eSense gives the user precise feedback about the current level of stress in a variety of forms, e.g. through measurement curves, video and audio presentation. For audio biofeedback, the device has a headphone output. In addition to audio feedback, you can also listen to music or audio books during anti-stress training! The app belonging to the eSense is completely free and also allows an export of the collected measurement data via email.
With the eSense you can...
- ...do biofeedback training
- ...measurize and reduce your stress level
- ...create and use a guide for meditation
Skin Conductance/Skin Response
Skin response, also known as galvanic skin response (GSR), electrodermal response (EDR) or skin conductance (SC) is a method for measuring the skin's electrical conductance, which varies with its moisture level. Conductance is measured in µSiemens (µS) and is the inverse of electrical resistance. The eSense Skin Response measures skin conductance between two Velcro electrodes attached to the index- and middle fingers. Active measurement involves applying a very low, unnoticeable voltage to the fingers.

Significance of Skin Conductance and Biofeedback-Training
In a professional, therapeutic context, skin conductance training is the preferred biofeedback training method for anxiety, panic and learning relaxation. The sweat glands are controlled by the vegetative (sympathetic) nervous system and react directly to the smallest emotional, physical or mental changes. A rise in skin conductance is clearly visible under the influence of stress. Stress factors may be, for example, mental activity, emotional arousal, deep inhalation or frightening. Even the smallest changes are made visible with the aid of the app, and can be used for biofeedback training to reduce stress.

Is there a way to extend the cord of the eSense?
If you wish to use a longer cord between the eSense and your smartphone or tablet, you can extend the original cord of the eSense with a common, 4-pin, 3,5mm jack headset extension cord. We have tested 3 cords that have worked:- 2m cord: http://amzn.to/2kJwqBM
- 0,5m cord: http://amzn.to/2kKEONs
- 110cm cord: http://amzn.to/2jJg1LZ
- All three suggested cords cost between £ 6-8 and are available f.i. from Amazon. Alternatively you should be able to use other 4-pin cords as well.
