| | He came across the basic principles of biofeedback when doing animal experimentation conditioning the behavior of rats. | | | His team found that, by stimulating the pleasure centers of the rats' brains with electricity, it was possible to train rats to control phenomena ranging from their heart rates to their brainwaves. | | | The most widely known application is the therapist, using instrumentation that can detect small changes in physiology, walking the participant through different experiences. |

| | Biofeedback is a training technique in which people are taught to improve their health and performance by using signals from their own bodies. | | | The word "biofeedback" was coined in the late 1969 to describe laboratory procedures (developed in the 1940's) that trained research subjects to alter brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, heart rate and other bodily functions that are not normally controlled voluntarily. | | | Biofeedback is a "mind over matter" form of therapy that has only recently begun to filter into mainstream medicine. |

| | Biofeedback is a form of self-regulation in which individuals learn to control physiological responses by providing them with an information signal, as sensory feedback, about biological conditions of which they may not be ordinarily aware. | | | Biofeedback may also be used to control the biological responses that contribute to health problems, such as chronically tense muscles due to accidents or sports injuries, asthma, high blood pressure, and cardiac arrhythmias. | | | Simkins (1982) warns that the principles of operant conditioning are inadequate in biofeedback training and are consistently misapplied in research and clinical studies. |

| | What is Biofeedback? |
| | Although biofeedback training may focus specifically on one or two psychophysiological systems as a means of addressing a particular presenting complaint, clients are soon reminded of the holistic nature of the human being as they observe that changes made within one psychophysiological system can create changes in other psychophysiological systems. | | | In a typical biofeedback session, the client settles into a comfortable chair and is hooked up to the biofeedback instrument with sensors attached to the surface of the skin at various locations on the body (usually the shoulders, fingers, back, and head). | | | Simply put, biofeedback is a means for gaining control of our body processes to increase relaxation, relieve pain, and develop healthier, more comfortable life patterns. |
