  1. Enjoyed your presentation. I have been researching for simple ways to collect and use biologically based emotional data as part of my emotional regulation training program. You mentioned a I-phone app that you use. Could you tell me more about that.
    Thank you

    • Hi Rande

      Thanks for getting in touch. We have been using an iPhone app recently called HRV logger (although there are others out there). It has been produced by a very bright PhD researcher into physiological monitoring called Marco Altini in Italy. You can find his details and more about the app on his website.
