Scientists have just invented a plush balloon, which has the particularity of changing shape to the rhythm of its user’s breathing. Holding this moving ball in your hands would have an extraordinary effect on anxiety (Anxiety is for biological phenomenological psychiatry and…)!
Breathing is a natural mechanical activity which we do not take the time for (Time is a concept developed by the being human to apprehend the…) to become aware. However, concentrating on one’s own breathing (In common language, breathing refers to both gas exchanges (rejection…) can relieve anxiety and promote well-being (Well-being or well-being is a state that affects health, pleasure, etc.), especially when exercise is associated with meditation. However, it is not easy to stay focused for a long time on our inhalations and exhalations: the human is so made that he lets himself be absorbed by his wandering thoughts. To help him concentrate more easily on his breathing, scientists from the University of Bath in the United Kingdom have just invented this balloon, which inflates and deflates to the rhythm of the breathing of the person who holds it in their hands. Thus, the breathing of the individual is physically embodied in an object (Generally speaking, the word object (from the Latin objectum, 1361) designates an entity defined in…) which he holds in his hand (The hand is the prehensile effector organ located in…), which helps to remain aware of the rhythm of it, and to fully perceive its benefits.
As part of the study carried out on the subject, tests were carried out on 58 participants. The result of these tests demonstrated that thanks to their increased attention, the participants were able to concentrate better on a meditation audio recording. People who participated in the meditation exercise while holding this ball saw their anxiety reduced by 75%. Conversely, participants who listened to the audio recordings without using this ball saw their anxiety reduced by 31%. The heart rate of people using the ball also showed higher variability.
This balloon, which changes shape to the rhythm of its user’s breathing, can reduce anxiety by 75%
Technically, this balloon works thanks to haptic feedback, associated with sensors attached to the user’s body which transmit respiratory information to the balloon. The next versions will work in Bluetooth (Bluetooth is a telecommunications industry specification. It uses…) to avoid cables and improve comfort of use. While depression and anxiety affect more and more people each year, this technique might help improve management. patient load.
