What is Biofeedback
      
   Biofeedback is a brain training method and under the section of biofeedback, there is neurofeedback. We can say that neurofeedback is a subdivision of biofeedback. Another word for Neurofeedback is EEG biofeedback.
Biofeedback used to treat people suffering from anxiety, stress, hypertension, and chronic pain.
Biofeedback uses medical instruments and provides feedback to the client. Through this process clients can gain control over physical function that they haven’t had much control over..Basically there are three types of biofeedback, they are.
  • Thermal biofeedback measures skin temperature.
  • Electromyography measures muscle tension.
  • Neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback focuses on electrical brain activity.

       The neurofeedback system is basically something that works on the reward-based system and thus helping the client to maintain a proper brainwave activity. Neurofeedback helps to improve brainwave activity. It helps to cure neurological conditions such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, anxiety, stress, ADHD, and traumatic brain injuries. It creates an impact on our subconscious mind and thus it works extremely well.

 Difference between biofeedback and neurofeedback:-

Biofeedback is a general term, and it’s used to describe a type of feedback training for the body. Since it’s a general term, biofeedback can describe almost any type of process that involves the use of medical equipment to monitor body functions.
For example, a PET scan, a thermometer, and a blood pressure cuff are all examples of biofeedback. Neurofeedback is different because it describes a specific type of biofeedback, which consists of brainwave readings.
