Pressure changes
how you decide.
A 3-hour leadership session combining physiological measurement, biofeedback and decision-making under pressure.
Session architecture
Four stages that build into one experience.
From baseline measurement to pressure, recovery and reflection.
Pressure Test
Context-Matched Task
Work through a time-pressured decision task that creates uncertainty, competing demands and decision pressure.
Personal HRV Biofeedback
Polar PPG Armbands
Track your own heart rate variability and observe how your physiology responds as pressure increases.
Collective Room Dashboard
Anonymised Synchronised Heatmap
Watch room stress patterns rise and fall live on the central screen. No individual data is ever exposed.
Recovery Training
Live Biofeedback Pacing
Practise a guided breathing protocol while observing your physiological responses through live biofeedback.
Hardware & ethics
How the Neuro Lab Works
The Neuro Lab combines heart rate variability biofeedback, physiological monitoring and EEG demonstration to help participants understand how pressure affects performance and recovery.
Psychological safety by design
STRICT ETHICAL GUARANTEE
- No assessment, diagnosis or brain profiling.
- Your data is interpreted against your own baseline.
- Room displays show only aggregated, anonymised information.
Personal biofeedback
Polar Optical PPG Armband
Validated optical sensor measuring inter-beat intervals to support personal HRV monitoring and recovery practice.
Live demonstration
14-Channel EMOTIV EEG
Used to demonstrate how eye blinks, jaw movement and other artefacts affect EEG signals and influence interpretation.
EEG Demonstration
EEG ARTEFACT DEMONSTRATION
14-channel demonstrationSee how non-brain movements can distort an EEG signal.
Interactive demonstration
Room Biofeedback Dashboard (Demo)
Switch between states to explore how physiological measures can change during pressure and recovery.

Simulated measures
Sample values generated for demonstration and randomised within realistic ranges. No sensor is reading you right now.
Beat-to-Beat PPG Waveform

Session outcomes
What You’ll Learn
A practical understanding of pressure, physiology and recovery that can be carried into everyday work.
Stress and Decision-Making
Understand how acute stress affects judgement, attention and working memory during demanding situations.
Personal Data Interpretation
Learn how to interpret HRV and physiological signals against your personal baseline and understand what these measures can and cannot tell you.
Recovery Through Biofeedback
Practise a recovery technique and observe its effects on your physiology through live biofeedback.
30-Day Practice Plan
Develop a 30-day practice plan linking everyday sources of pressure to practical recovery habits.
Decision Safeguards
Identify situations where pressure is most likely to impair judgement and develop practical safeguards.
Session outputs
What Every Participant Keeps
The experience continues beyond the three-hour session.
Physical hardware
Personal Polar Armband
Keep your Polar armband for continued HRV monitoring and personal practice beyond the session.
Confidential Report
Personal Physiological Report
Confidential report summarising your physiological responses, recovery patterns and suggested areas for further practice.
Optional Coaching
One-to-One Support
Review your report, discuss your 30-day practice plan and apply the findings to a current professional challenge.
Optional Keepsake
Your Brain-Rhythm Souvenir
A 2-minute EEG recording captures your own alpha waves rising the moment you close your eyes. This provides a record of your own brain in action.
You receive a branded image titled “Your brain’s alpha rhythm: what changes when you close your eyes,” added to your report and available as a printed card.
