Biofeedback bracelet for stressed daytraders

 Newman Gfx News Hires Rationalizer Highres3
The Rationalizer is a concept design for a bracelet that provides feedback on the stress level of day traders. Developed by Philips Electronics and Dutch bank ABN AMRO, it's like a high-tech mood ring. The aim is to help traders avoid rash decisions. From Physorg:

The Rationalizer consists of an "EmoBracelet" and an "EmoBowl" and incorporates sensors and signal processors designed by Philips. The EmoBracelet's galvanic skin response sensor measures the level of emotional arousal in a similar way to a lie detector. The result is displayed on either the bracelet or the EmoBowl as a light display that intensifies and changes to reflect the wearer's intensifying emotional arousal. At the highest emotional stress level the display has a greater number of elements moving at higher speed, and the color changes to a warning red.
