STRESS
Stress is a physiological condition in which the body becomes excited to face an emergency situation.
Increase in heart rate, breathing rate etc occurs during a high stress state.
A permanent stress condition is harmful to the body and may results in many health problems.
The circuit described here is useful to monitor the stress level before and after practicing a relaxation exercise.
PRINCIPLE
The resistance of the skin varies, if the stress level is high the skin offers less resistance and if the body is relaxed the skin resistance is high. During high stress there is increase in the blood supply to the skin, this increases the permeability of the skin.
High stress causes sweating and leakage of water from the blood vessels in the skin. This makes the skin moist and electrical conductivity increases.
CIRCUIT

6)R6- 47Ω
7)VR1- 1M
8)VR2- 47K Capacitors: 1)C1- 10µ, 16V
2)C2- 100µ, 16V
3)C3- 100µ, 16V
Semiconductor: 1) IC1- LM3915
2) T1- BC548
3) D1- IN4148
4) ZD1- 5.1V,0.5W
5)Red, Green and Blue LED PZ1- Piezo Buzzer 9V Battery One Way Switch Touch Pads
LM3915
It is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analogue voltage levels and displays them through LEDs providing a logarithmic analogue display. It can drive up to ten LEDs one by one for each increment of 125 mV in the input.
PIN CONFIGURATION
PIEZO BUZZER
