Professional EDA/GSR Biofeedback – At Home, On Your Device

eSense Skin Response Sensor eSense Skin Response Package

The eSense Skin Response transforms your smartphone or tablet into a professional biofeedback device. By measuring electrodermal activity (EDA)—also known as galvanic skin response (GSR)—through simple finger sensors, you get instant, accurate insights into your stress levels. Skin conductance is the gold standard for stress measurement, used in clinical research and therapy worldwide.

 

Track your progress with real-time graphs, receive feedback through audio tones, music, videos, or even smart bulbs (Philips Hue™, Magic Blue™). Export your data as CSV for detailed analysis. Whether you're new to biofeedback or an experienced practitioner, the free eSense App guides you every step of the way. Tablets like iPad offer a larger display—ideal for professional use.

The Science Behind Skin Conductance Biofeedback

Electrodermal activity (EDA) is one of the most reliable indicators of autonomic nervous system arousal. Your skin's electrical conductance changes in response to stress—even before you consciously notice it. This makes EDA biofeedback exceptionally effective for: • Stress awareness: Learn to recognize your body's stress signals early • Relaxation training: Develop the ability to actively calm your nervous system • Anxiety management: Reduce physiological arousal through real-time feedback • Mindfulness enhancement: Deepen your mind-body connection In clinical settings, EDA/GSR biofeedback is a preferred method for teaching relaxation and stress regulation. With the eSense Skin Response, you bring this proven technique into your own home. The free app includes detailed introductions and guided exercises to help you get started—no prior experience required.

Understanding Electrodermal Activity (EDA) and Your Stress Response

EDA skin conductance measurement showing galvanic skin response on finger electrodes

What is EDA (Electrodermal Activity)?

Electrodermal activity (EDA)—also known as galvanic skin response (GSR) or skin conductance—measures tiny changes in your skin's electrical properties.

These changes are caused by sweat gland activity, which is controlled exclusively by your sympathetic nervous system. Even microscopic amounts of perspiration affect conductivity—long before you notice "sweaty palms."

How Skin Conductance Measurement Works

The eSense applies a tiny, imperceptible electrical current between two finger electrodes. When your sweat glands activate, conductivity increases.

This change is measured in microSiemens (µS) and displayed instantly on your smartphone or tablet—giving you objective, real-time feedback about your stress levels.

Why EDA is the Gold Standard

Unlike heart rate or breathing, skin conductance cannot be consciously controlled. It responds involuntarily to stress, emotions, and arousal.

This makes EDA the most honest indicator of your body's stress state—revealing tension you might not even be aware of. That's why it's used in clinical research, therapy, and professional biofeedback worldwide.

Your Autonomic Nervous System

Your body's stress response is governed by two opposing systems:

  • Sympathetic: Activates "fight or flight"—increases alertness, heart rate, and sweat gland activity
  • Parasympathetic: Promotes "rest and digest"—calms the body and supports recovery

Skin conductance directly reflects sympathetic activation. When stressed, anxious, or startled, your sweat glands respond within seconds—and the eSense detects it immediately.

From Awareness to Self-Regulation

With biofeedback training, you develop the ability to:

  1. Recognize your stress response as it happens
  2. Identify your personal triggers and patterns
  3. Practice techniques to calm your nervous system
  4. Track your progress over weeks and months

The eSense app creates a real-time feedback loop: you see your stress, you learn to influence it, and over time, self-regulation becomes second nature.
