Biofeedback
Biofeedback
is a process that enables an individual to learn how to change physiological
activity for the purposes of improving health and performance. Precise
instruments measure physiological activity such as brainwaves, heart function,
breathing, muscle activity, and skin temperature. These instruments rapidly
and accurately "feed back" information to the user. The presentation of
this information — often in conjunction with changes in thinking, emotions,
and behavior — supports desired physiological changes. Over time, these
changes can endure without continued use of an instrument. (Association
for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB)
Biofeedback is the process of obtaining information about psychophysiological or mind-body interactions and feeding it back for training. These interactions are measured via heart rate, breathing, CO2 breath measurement, skin temperature, sweat gland activity, muscles tension and brain wave activity. Information is received by noninvasive surface electrodes (sensors) and electronically amplified to provide feedback, usually in the form of an audio tone and/or visual feedback. Biofeedback uses the information that has been monitored from the sensors to help train the client to learn how to make voluntary changes in those biological functions and enhance self-regulation. This training helps to increase the clients awareness first of their body and second, of the mind-body connection. For example, pain, stress and anxiety management increases as self-regulation skills are learned and then applied to daily life. (Biofeedback Society of California (BSC) Links
