Temperature Test - Biological Data

Former Member

Hello All,

 

I've been busy working kinks out of my system. I thought I would share some of the data that I got while testing against a reference system. The graph below is a plot of temperature vs. time. You will notice that mental and physical stimuli cause the body to react by opening its sweat pores in select places. If you take measurements from them, you can see your temperature drop during those periods. Pretty cool!

    DAB,

     

    Thanks for the comment. Based on my understanding, this is actually a result of the sympathetic nervous system. The mental strain is designed as a way to trigger the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system then triggers the sweat glands to produce sweat, which cools the area. This is why we see the corresponding temperature drop.

  • It looks like the body shuts down some of the autonomous tasks when engaged in stressful issues.

    Very interesting as it implies that the autonomous background operations of the brain consume brain resources without conscious thought.

    Then the brain changes the priority on the tasks and puts the autonomous tasks further down the queue to reduce their active brain use.

     

    You have to love natures operating system and conflict management technics.
