1. Validity Testing the NeuLog Galvanic Skin Response Device

In 2020 at the IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC), Toronto Validity Testing the NeuLog Galvanic Skin Response Device published by Theresa Flagler; Jonathan Tong; Robert S. Allison; Laurie M. Wilcox at York University Toronto, Canada.

Abstract of Testing the NeuLog Galvanic Skin Response Device:

This paper describes validity testing of the NeuLog NUL-217 GSR measurement device. This was accomplished by comparing the NeuLog device to readings from the Biopac Student Lab Systems EDA system. The results of this research found that measurements from the NeuLog device are correlated with and comparable to the Biopac system. The absolute skin conductance levels typically differed between the two systems. For most psychological and human factors research the dynamic skin conductance responses are more important than absolute levels. The timing and relative magnitude of changes typically tracked well across the two systems indicating that the Neulog system is suitable for the purposes of its intended use in psychological and technological research.

2. Levitation Experience

An article in Virtual Reality Journal., April 2025, Levitation Experience authored by Mounia Ziat; Rishi Jhunjhunwala; Adwait Gharat; Yo Deshpande; Roope Raisamo at Bentley University, IDCC, Waltham, USA. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10055-025-01138-9

Abstract of Levitation Experience in Virtual Reality:

We investigated the effects of combining VR-guided meditation with out-of-body experiences, such as levitation, on embodiment and mindfulness practices. Participants engaged in a self-view (video feedback) meditation session followed by a levitation phase in a VR environment. We observed a significant increase in participants’ EDA responses during the levitation phase. The results were influenced by several factors, including the duration of the meditation, the length of the levitation phase, and participants’ subjective experiences. Participants who reported higher scores on the physical levita¬tion scale exhibited an open and curious attitude, accepting the experience without becoming overly absorbed. In contrast, individuals with the capacity to observe and distance themselves from their feelings, emotions, and experiences were less inclined to report a virtual levitation experience.
