Respiratory response system (including respiration rate, tidal volume)

From EuroVR Knowledge Base

Description

Respiration refers to the process of oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal from the body. The regulation is maintained by a complex interaction of chemo receptors, stretch receptors and the autonomic nervous system. Respiratory measures provide information on states of hyper- and hypoventilation during certain epochs of mental work which are related to negative emotions. It is used as a measure of strain, mental workload and stress
