Are Neurofeedback and Biofeedback the same?
While other forms of biofeedback have been used for many years, Neurofeedback (EEG Biofeedback) is a relatively new, advanced type of biofeedback for the brain. Because neurofeedback effects the brain, which in essence effects everything else in our bodies, it tends to have an impact well beyond traditional biofeedback. Peripheral-type biofeedback is primarily used to reduce headaches and other tension problems by teaching people to relax certain muscles or to increase surface skin temperature in their extremities.Neurofeedback training is biofeedback, but it impacts brainwaves directly and affects the whole nervous system. Brain-based biofeedback helps your brain work better, causing a much broader effect.
