A New Way to Measure Stress »
Posted By engineer 2 months, 4 weeks ago in Science & TechnologyDevelopers are discovering a new way to measure the muscle tension and stress encompassing our bodies. By wearing a sensor riddled vest, tiny electrodes record how much strain our bodies are currently experiencing. Muscle strain and tension is often a direct reflection of how much stress someone is undergoing. Sensors are uniquely threaded through

The sensor vest idea was originally developed by biomedical scientists at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, because they needed a more discrete way to measure stress. This is a significant improvement on an older method because the older method requires direct electrodes placed on the subjects' body subsequently producing stress and skewing results. By imbuing the electrodes into a vest, no further stress is created and can thus yield accurate results.
