Neuroscience approaches to stress management
Overview
Scientific research into stress management focuses on understanding the physiological basis of temperament and the body’s hormonal responses. Early insights highlight the ‘90-second rule’, a technique suggested by neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor to allow the initial chemical surge of adrenaline and cortisol to subside before reacting to agitation.
Further developments in the field emphasize regulating the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic response to counteract the sympathetic ‘fight or flight’ response. Methods to achieve this include physical interventions such as deep breathing, humming, and vagus nerve stimulation. Additionally, technological applications have emerged, including wearable apparel designed to provide sensory deprivation to facilitate meditative states.
