Why is biofeedback important?
Feedback is vital to our survival. Your car’s gages give you feedback like how fast you are driving or how hot is your engine running. Your body gives you feedback, your temperature, if you are hungry or thirsty, or if you are in pain (alarm signals to disengage from that activity). Your brain does the same, and the same way you can read heart activity or health based on EKG reading, we can measure your brain activity. Once you understand how to change, then changing your brain state occurs easily.
