Customer Reviews of StressEraser Portable Biofeedback DeviceCustomer Review: $299 placebo?
I am a retired doctor and thought this would be the perfect "scientific" way to reap the benefits of meditation, which have eluded me in the past. Unfortunately, either my unit is defective or it's extremely difficult to coordinate one's breathing with the little triangles that come up very quickly and very erratically. There is a mechanism that supposedly allows you to adjust the triangle appearance rate to suit your breathing, but I couldn't tell that it does anything at all. It actually stresses me out to try to use this device. Note that I have only had it for a couple of days, so I will keep trying, but at this point, I'm ready to send it back. Also, based on the "feedback" it gives the user, I really don't understand what it is measuring. It simply can't be sensitive enough to detect what it purports to detect without being very much more complex than it is. On the plus side, it does appear to be well made of quality materials. But I'd say it's definitely not worth the price. Unless you're into placebo effect... which is not a bad thing, actually.

Bad Waves. When you're stressed, your wave is jagged and spiky. |
Good Waves. When you're relaxed, your wave becomes smooth and consistent, like a sine wave. |
The wave is like a window into your nervous system. When you're stressed, your wave is jagged and spiky; when you're relaxed, your wave becomes smooth and consistent, like a sine wave.
How You Use It
The StressEraser uses simple biofeedback symbols ? squares and triangles ? to cue your breathing. Triangles indicate the "peak" of the wave ? that is, the fastest point of your heart rate in your HRV cycle. Squares provide a scoring system for your waves, so you know when you are focused and breathing properly.
Your goal is to time your inhale/exhale rate so that you begin your exhale at the moment that the triangle appears at the wave peak. It may take several triangles for you to completely sync up, so be patient. There's no hurry! Remember your goal is to relax.
Studies show that HRV biofeedback shows more benefits over time. After a few days and weeks, you'll be able to relax in just minutes. The more you use it, the better you'll feel!
