Dr. Lisa Olson, Associate Professor of Biology at University of Redlands, CA, has installed multiple copies of state-of-the-art VivoSense® (Vivonoetics, Inc., San Diego,CA) visualization and analysis software for use in research and teaching in neuroscience and physiology.
VivoSense® will initially be used by students to analyze data from NONIN® pulse-oximeters, deriving complex measures such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) in order to measure autonomic nervous system changes during stress and meditation techniques. Dr. Olson and her colleagues plan to expand the use of VivoSense at the innovative Biology program at Redlands to analyze data from a range of other physiological sensors (including cardiac, respiratory and galvanic skin response monitors) used in teaching laboratories on the effects of high altitude and exercise as well as novel student research projects
