Feedback Options & Error Messages
Choosing Lights and/Or Sound
ThoughtStream gives you the advantage of simultaneous visual and
auditory feedback. Or you can use ThoughtStream with either of the
visual or the auditory feedback independently.
The feedback method you choose is a matter of preference. It also
depends on what you do during a session. For example, some are more
comfortable doing relaxation type exercises with their eyes closed.
If you are using a breathing exercise or a meditation to enhance
relaxation, you might prefer to watch the LEDs without listening to the
auditory feedback.
ERROR MESSAGE
If the lights begin to blink all red then all orange, all yellow, all
green and back to all red this means that the sensor connection is
incomplete. To correct this, press the START/STOP button, adjust the
probe strap and restart your session.
Factors That Can Alter Your Skin Resistance And Your Readings
Certain factors can affect readings because ThoughtStream works by
detecting subtle changes in your skin's electrical resistance.
- Sensor Pressure - find a comfortable resting position for
your hands BEFORE you begin. Varying the pressure of the
sensors against your skin will provide false readings; therefore, avoid
adjusting the sensors once a session has started. Moving your hand
around will also cause fluctuations in the readings.
- Other Factors That Will Provide Inaccurate Readings:
- Being involved in a light activity such as walking, then sitting
down and immediately beginning a session. (Sit down and wait
five minutes to allow your body time to settle down.)
- Coming inside from cold or hot weather and immediately beginning
a session. (Allow your body time to completely adjust to the
surroundings.)
- Starting a session immediately following a large meal. (Wait
one-half hour)
- Starting a session immediately following physical exercise
(Waite at least 15 minutes.)
- Time of day you use ThoughtStream.
- Whether you smoke or have recently ingested caffeine, alcohol,
or other drugs.
