Applied Clinical Neuroscience and Its Effect on Self-reported Stress and Other Physiological Markers

The purpose of this study is to see if an applied clinical neuroscience (ACN) approach to the symptom of 'stress' has a measurable effect on an individual's self-reported stress level. Physiological markers will be measured and analyzed to potentially allow for greater insight and aid in setting up any future research on this topic. This is an independent research study.
