The MindBody Lab is closed during the summer of 2009 as we remodel our space and expand our offerings. Please visit us when we reopen our doors in the fall.
The MindBody Lab is a self-paced and self-guided relaxation room where UT students can learn and practice stress management exercises, meditation techniques, and other psychological skills. Students also have the option of checking out biofeedback equipment (see below) to use in the lab while they learn the exercises. The lab contains audio files on:
- Guided Imagery
- Mindfulness
- Meditation
- Progressive Muscle Relaxation
- Abdominal Breathing
- Self Hypnosis

Biofeedback
Biofeedback is the use of electronic devices that monitor and amplify subtle changes in your body that you would never be aware of without the equipment. These changes allow you to see the impact of relaxation and stress on your body. With practice, you can learn to control these physical, emotional, and mental changes for the betterment of your health.
Although there are many different kinds of biofeedback, the MindBody Lab makes available handheld biofeedback devices called GSR2.
For more information on biofeedback, stress, and stress reduction activities, simply visit the lab and listen to the many audio files that explain these concepts in greater detail.
