Mind Spa- Mind & Body Room

The Mind Spa offers Biofeedback programs that allow the user to practice coping strategies to manage stress. The biofeedback program measures stress levels through the user's heart rate and small electrical changes in the user's fingertips. The user practices breathing techniques that level the user's heart rate. Once the breathing and calming techniques are mastered, the user is exposed to several video game situations and each game is controlled based on how the user manages the user's stress level when exposed to different situations to test the coping mechanisms.
