Preparation and start of the app
Create the conditions needed for a successful training:
•
find a quiet room (mobile phone etc. switched off)
•
appropriate temperature of 20-22° C (68-72° F)
•
convenient seating
•
comfortable clothing
You should avoid all conditions that can make you sweat out of purely physical
reasons, like intense physical activity before training or intense sunlight and heat. This
could falsify your measured values. To obtain comparable results, you should try to
keep your initial and ambient conditions
constant through the series of training
sessions.
In comparison with other biofeedback techniques, you will
need fewer sessions
for a
reliable success. 6-10 sessions should be sufficient. To keep focused throughout the
entire session, you should limit each session’s length to about 30 minutes. If you start
feeling tired while training, you should shorten your sessions and practice more often
instead.
Fixation of the Velcro-electrodes
Wrap the two electrodes around the upper or middle phalanges of your index and
middle finger of the same hand. The dark lower side of the electrodes shall be in good
skin contact. Using the non-dominant hand is advisable (e.g. the left hand for right
handed people) because the skin tends to be a little less callused there. Attach the
cables and wrap the tape another time around their clips to ensure a firm contact.
