Scientists want to measure my blogging stress level
Not only me but sportspersons, gamers and everyone on this earth who can wear their newest invention in the world of wearable electronics. The project known as Context consists of a vest which can measure the stress levels of the person. It works with the help of sensors which are embedded in the vest so that it can track down even the minute muscle tension.
Biomedical scientists stumbled on the idea of creating a vest after their subjects induced stress because of their tests which wanted to affix electrodes on the person’s chest. The researchers are also contemplating on creating a special vest for computer games wherein the gamer can selectively tense the torso muscles and use the vest to control figures on the monitor.
The last idea sounds lame but developing a stress vest could actually help me know how much stress can I take from blogging.
This consists of sensors woven into the fabric that register the electrical excitation of the muscle fibers, and thin conducting metallic fibers that pass the signals to an electronic analysis system. People’s muscle tension changes with their stress level – the greater the stress, the more likely the muscles are to produce a synchronous twitching effect.
