Biofeedback came out of research in the field of Behavioral Medicine, which is now called Health Psychology. As I mentioned, I am Board Certified in this area. A specialist in biofeedback is called a psychophysiologist. Biofeedback uses information gained by monitoring skin temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and brain waves to promote control over the normally involuntary nervous system through conditioning and relaxation. There are three types of biofeedback: thermal, muscular (EMG) and neurological (EEG). We use both the thermal and EEG methods for Brain Fitness Training. All three employ some type of computer or monitoring device along with electronic sensors to give information about what is going on in the body. In thermal biofeedback, which includes methods such as Heart Math’s Emwave that monitors heart rate variability (HRV) and Journey to the Wild Divine, indicates physical changes like changes in pulse rate, body temperature and breathing. EEG biofeedback, which is now c
Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback. Biofeedback is a process of feeding back bodily processes to make people aware of them, so that they can learn to regulate themselves better. Biofeedback operates on the principle of operant conditioning. It makes it possible to reverse the habitual patterns created by the stress response. Biofeedback is more general in that it measures a number of biological functions. Examples of biofeedback are muscle tension or EMG biofeedback, galvanic skin response which measures sweat gland activity, surface temperature, heart rate and breathing, in addition to brain-waves. Biofeedback has been used for many decades to decrease symptoms of stress-related diseases.
Biofeedback is a process for monitoring a body function (such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature) and learning to regulate the function through relaxation or imagery. Many people like biofeedback training because it allows them to be in charge, giving them a sense of mastery and self-reliance over their own health. Biofeedback operates on the principle of operant conditioning. It makes it possible to reverse the habitual patterns created by the stress response. Biofeedback has been used for decades to decrease symptoms of stress-related diseases. Neurofeedback also called EEG biofeedback or neurotherapy is a form of biofeedback and a technique designed to teach people how to control their brain waves. Its focus is on feeding back information regulating brain activity utilizing EEG. It’s a training process which uses technology to provide you with more information about what your body is doing than your ordinary senses provide. This “feedback” helps you learn to
