General Use and Functionality
What is PhysioCam, and how does it work?
The PhysioCam is a novel, non-contact nervous system measurement tool — a “nervous system-ometer”, as we like to say! While many other methods for measuring the nervous system involve invasive or contact-based techniques such as headsets or adhesive electrode pads, PhysioCam uses only the real-time video of a client’s face to evaluate physiology and the changes in their nervous system.
