SMART Lab
The mission of the SMART Lab is to teach and research the efficacy of stress management and resiliency skills with individuals from Volusia County and students from Stetson University. The SMART lab targets significant reductions in stress levels using biofeedback monitors and can be combined with self-report measures of psychological disorders and indicators of resilience. The SMART Lab is capable of intervening with a wide age demographic from children to geriatric and can be combined with other health initiatives including psychological counseling, play therapy, and brain fitness. The SMART Lab is staffed by Jesse Fox, PhD, and student research assistants.
