1Department of Systems Physiology, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan.
Abstract:
To summarize, SRM induces a state of relaxation as observed by psychological tests and by effects such as increases in the surface temperature of the hands. Such effects tend to occur from an early stage of training. Furthermore, SRM induces a state of "relaxed-alertness" as opposed to a drowsy state. A method to induce such a state of relaxation may be particularly suitable as a method of stress reduction in industrial settings, where a certain degree is vigilance is required. Currently, the authors are applying SRM in an industrial setting, hoping that such methods may result in stress reduction in a high-tech society.
