Calm the Waves - A novel biofeedback tool for emotion regulation

Understanding emotions and the ability of effortful regulation of emotions is an essential skill in life. In this workshop we provide an opportunity to try out Obimon EDA CTW, a research-grade biofeedback tool based on electrodermal activity, or commonly known as emotional sweating. In the workshop you will see your emotional-activation state visualized in the form of waves on the screen in real time. We can show you how to utilize your own emotion regulation skills to calm down the waves. While engaging in challenges in a gamified, exciting manner, your brain learns it, allowing this knowledge to be retrieved when emotion regulation is needed.

These exercises help you realize what works best for your own emotional management.
