Embodiment Construction

[0037] In the digital age, information and communication overload is common. Individuals are directly exposed to increasing amounts of information and communication. The brain sees this as a stimulus. Similar to the homeostasis of the body, the brain has mechanisms to maintain homeostasis when exposed to external influences. Information and communication stimuli elicit effects on the brain that have recently been linked to GluA1-dependent synaptic plasticity and ultimately reduce human attentional capacity.

[0038] Over time, sleep pressure increases, the metabolic load of processing new stimuli and information increases, and attention capacity decreases. Sleep, and more specifically slow wave sleep, restores these negative effects. Slow-wave sleep, also known as deep sleep or IV sleep, is characterized by a delta range of brain frequencies during which parts of the brain cease all neural activity. Slow sleep oscillations strengthen synapses that were inhibited due to per...

Abstract

The present invention relates to device, system and method for providing bio-feedback to a user. The device comprises an interface (11) configured to obtain skin conductance measurements of a user and to output user instructions and bio-feedback information; and a processing unit (12) configured to generate user instructions indicating one or more actions to follow by the user, identify one or more galvanic skin response (GSR) storms in a skin conductance trace of the obtained skin conductance measurements, wherein a GSR storm is identified based on the number of peaks and / or the peak frequency in a time period having a duration in the range of 2 to 10 minutes, identify a latency of a predetermined duration without a further GSR storm after the end of an identified GSR storm, and generate, if at least one GSR storm followed by a latency has been identified, bio-feedback information providing bio-feedback related to the one or more actions followed by the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device, system and method for providing biofeedback to a user. Background technique [0002] Short-term habituation to recently experienced stimuli disrupts brain homeostasis. Then maintaining the ability to pay attention requires more energy. Normally, sleep promotes dehabituation and restores brain homeostasis, but the plethora of information that society provides to its inhabitants these days causes disruption of homeostasis to occur during the day when sleep is not an option. [0003] There is a need for a way to enable the user to restore brain homeostasis and to provide the user with biofeedback, especially with regard to recovery, in a simple and effective manner. [0004] US 2014 / 0288401 A1 discloses a psychological balance or imbalance estimation system and a method for estimating a user's psychological balance or imbalance level. The system includes a skin conductance sensor for sensing skin conductance o...
