Riverside Military Academy’s Asher Madans is connected to a device that records his biofeedback Friday afternoon inside the Brenau University Psychology Department stress lab. Students learned about biofeedback as part of a day of special psychology-themed events for more than 300 visiting high school students.
Victoria Martin, a junior at Chestatee High School, squealed and jumped when the “control” in the experiment flexed her wrist and Victoria felt the electric current in her forearm. She participated in the “human-to-human interface” experiment Friday as part of Brenau University’s “intense look into psychology.” In the experiment, one person is the “controller” and sends electric current into the second person’s arm by flexing his or her arm.
