Through the related analysis, we can estimate the state of the learner’s consciousness. To do the harmonic analysis for the peripheral blood flow waveform measured, we can roughly observe the circulation conditions of the organ systems under deep consciousness. We also measure finger temperature as a characteristic of the sympathetic activity to evaluate the relax condition of the learner. We record electrocardiogram to understand the fluctuation of heart rate during meditation. 　A simplified model was built for evaluating consciousness state. and Electrocardiogram, peripheral blood flow waveform and finger temperature were measured as the characteristics of the affective range to study how the meditation influences the related physiological parameters of a human body under a deep consciousness state.
