Aim of the course: The aim of this course is to provide students a broad understanding of biofeedback as an intervention tool with special focus on Electrodermal Activity. Through the study of emotions and stress from a psychophysiological point of view, we will go through methods for attention training and emotion regulation integrating mindfulness principles, relaxation techniques and basic group based Cognitive Behavioral Techniques. We will explore the emotional arousal under different contexts such as pain, general life stressors, and anxiety. To achieve these goals, an active methodology and a gamification strategy will be used to provide a good balance between theory and practice.
