Abstract :
In this tutorial paper, the methods presently used for measuring the degree of stress and relaxation in human physiology are discussed. Measurements include heart rate variability, respiration, blood levels of substance such as cortisol and catecholamine levels, EEG effects and the change in peripheral blood flow. Examples of methods presently used in the author´s laboratory are described
