Noumic
A gsr biofeedback monitor for biofeedback relaxation training
The Noumic biofeedback monitor was designed specifically to be biofeedback
relaxation device and aid to meditation. A Noumic gsr biofeedback monitor
measures and analyses an aspect of the body’s physiology that is closely
related to the level of physical and psychological relaxation or stress.
It has long been known that the conductivity of the skin, the galvanic
skin resistance (gsr), correlates to how stressed or relaxed one is.
Noumic is a high-technology gsr biofeedback monitor and therefore is a
biofeedback relaxation device.
The Noumic biofeedback monitor indicates, either by sound or light, the
minute changes in the user’s gsr biofeedback hence changes in their
level of relaxation. Noumic does this in real-time and clearly
indicates, even the smallest of changes, almost instantaneously. By the
principle of biofeedback, this information enables the user to learn
better and deeper relaxation.
Effective relaxation is known to assist in reducing the levels of
physical and psychological stress and is good for health and well-being.
Relaxing deeply, for even a short period of time, seems to revitalise
the body and the mind. With today’s busy, stressful lifestyles many seem
to be losing the ability of deeply relaxing except when asleep at night.
The Noumic biofeedback relaxation monitor is pocket sized and easy to
use at any time, and almost anywhere, where a few minutes of quiet time
is available. By concentrating on the Noumic biofeedback monitor trying
to get it to indicate even a little relaxation, soon the user learns how
to do this and becomes more and more proficient at relaxation.

A new easy to use gsr biofeedback relaxation monitor
Gsr biofeedback relaxation monitors have existed since the 1950’s, back
then such biofeedback equipment was expensive, bulky and difficult to
use; in recent decades small biofeedback monitors have become available.
Noumic is distinctive as it is inexpensive, simple to use, compact and
has a modern design. For biofeedback relaxation monitors it is
important that the outputs from them not interfere with the process of
relaxation. The visual and sound outputs from Noumic biofeedback monitor
have been kept simple to minimise the impact and disturbance to the
user. In fact, in time, it is hoped that users will automatically know
what the noumic monitor’s outputs mean and therefore the analytical
parts of the brain can rest even while using the device.
After familiarising oneself with the Noumic monitor and learning to hold
it gently with consistent pressure then it can be put to use for proper
biofeedback relaxation training. A range of conditions, techniques and
practices can be tried to promote relaxation; for example, change of
posture, proper breathing, different thought patterns, listening to
music, and visualisation. The Noumic biofeedback monitor will show the
user which of these practices has a positive effect on the state of
relaxation and which have no effect.
Within this website will give various suggestion of how to use Noumic as
a biofeedback relaxation monitor. There will be ideas for using Noumic
as a biofeedback monitor for other purposes such as improved body and
mind performance, spiritual development and for fun.History of
galvanic skin response and galvanic skin resistance, gsr
In the 1770's Luigi Galvani discovered that muscle cells produce
electricity; the term galvanism became popular when describing
electricity in living organisms. In the early 20th century, experiments
showed that the galvanic skin resistance, gsr biofeedback, changes
according to the activity of the body and of the mind. Today the terms
gsr, galvanic skin response or galvanic skin resistance are often used
in connection with biofeedback monitors.
It is known that the rapid changes in the skin's galvanic skin
resistance gsr is an indicator of changes in one's level stress or
relaxation. The gsr changes in
response to muscle activity and, it has been found, in response to emotional changes and mental activity. The
gsr biofeedback is especially
sensitive in the fingers tips where the galvanic skin resistance changes
are extremely rapid. By monitoring gsr biofeedback it is possible to
influence and control one's level of stress and relaxation. Noumic is a
gsr biofeedback monitor designed for use as a biofeedback relaxation
device and for other self-development and well-being applications.
