How do physiological responses such as respiratory frequency, heart rate, and galvanic skin response (GSR) change under emotional stress?
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)The human body exhibits different physiological responses to stress. One of these stressful situations includes when one is made uncomfortable or is possibly being deceitful, which is the physiological response that we ... -
Meditation and Stress Mitigation: can a one-time meditation session mitigate subsequent stress, as measured by heart rate, electrodermal activity, and blood pressure?
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)Objectives: This study explores the effect of one-time guided meditation on physiological measures of stress after a stress induction. The goal is to determine if meditating even once can mitigate stress in the short ... -
Moderate Aerobic Exercise has an Inconclusive Effect on Fine Motor Control
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)Fine motor control involves the coordination of many different physiological systems to produce precise movements. The central nervous system, peripheral nerves, muscles, and blood vessels all have an active role in ... -
No Difference in Sympathetic Responses to Auditory, Visual, and Combined Stimuli
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)The sympathetic nervous system, a branch of the autonomic nervous system, is activated in response to stressful stimuli. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether audio or visual stimuli work in tandem to ... -
Physiological Fear Response Amplitude in Visual Stimuli vs Audio-Visual Stimuli: A Comparative Gender Study
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)The comparison between unimodal stimuli (visual stimuli only) and bimodal stimuli (simultaneous audio-visual stimuli) is an under-studied but interesting subject in physiology. This study aims to explore gender differences ... -
The Relationship Between Sound Intensity And the Center of Balance
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)Daily activities require the proper coordination between sensory systems, brain integration, and muscular movements. A deviation in any of these systems may slightly or severely disrupt the body’s sensitive homeostatic ... -
Stress responses due to application of audio or visual stimuli
(Journal of Advanced Student Sciences (JASS), 2014)Stressful events promote activation of the sympathetic nervous system which causes measurable physiological changes in the body. Visual and auditory inputs often aid in this “fight or flight” stress response if potential ...
