Is there a difference between biofeedback and neurofeedback?
Biofeedback is concerned with assessing and training systems of the body that affect health and are thought to be under involuntary control. Breath, temperature, sweat, heart rate, muscle response and blood pressure are all aspects of the human body that can be assessed and trained for more efficient and healthy response and function. Neurofeedback is concerned with assessment and training of brain wave frequencies using sensors applied to the scalp. Not surprisingly, biofeedback modalities may be used adjunctively with neurofeedback protocols. In the USB Lab here on campus we primarily work with biofeedback protocols.
