- collect physiological measurements. It is very useful when you want
- to measure the physical response of the subject following some stimulus.
- There are no limits to the types of experiments which could use the equipment.
- The instruments are computer based are controlled by menu choices.
- It will even calculate your data and graph the results!</font></font></blockquote>

- You might use just one or you might choose to use several measurements

- relaxation process for many people. It is a possible extraneous variable
- in some studies.</font></font>
