Is the Freeze-Framer ® technology like biofeedback?
It is a type of biofeedback; however, it is important to understand that there are many types of biofeedback, which all feed back information about different physiological changes in our body. The simplest form of biofeedback is looking in a mirror and making different faces, which can affect how we feel. The Freeze-Framer is quite different from other forms of technology-based biofeedback, such as feedback of simple heart rate, skin conductance or brainwave activity. The Freeze-Framer is an educational system that provides feedback of a people’s heart rhythm patterns, which, in turn, allows them to see and better understand how stress and different emotions are affecting their autonomic nervous system dynamics. It does this by measuring the naturally occurring changes in beat-to-beat heart rate, which is called heart rate variability (HRV), or simply the heart rhythm. Whereas common methods of HRV analysis typically quantify the amount of variability in a given recording, additional i
