biofeedback

listen to the pronunciation of biofeedback
English - Turkish
Biyolojik geri bildirim
English - English
A technique consisting of measuring a person's quantifiable bodily functions, such as blood pressure, heart rate, skin temperature, sweat gland activity, and muscle tension, then conveying the information to the person in real-time
A technique in which a person uses information about a normally unconscious body function, such as blood pressure, to gain conscious control over that function
technique that teaches people how to control physiological processes once believed to be involuntary An external device monitors pulse, heart rate, brain waves and so on, and feeds an auditory or visual signal back to the person so that he or she can be made aware of their own physiology, and eventually learn to control it Brain wave biofeedback is called neurofeedback
a training program in which a person is given information about physiological processes (heart rate or blood pressure) that is not normally available with the goal of gaining conscious control of them
the learning process which refines the body's response to change; more information
A process in which a person learns to influence reliably physiologic responses of two kinds: those that are not ordinarily under voluntary control or those that ordinarily are easily regulated but for which regulation has broken down because of trauma or disease
This technique, used since the 1960's for stress management, is based on the principle that our thoughts can control our bodies For an EEG biofeedback session, electrodes about the size of a dime are attached to your scalp These electrodes are then hooked up to a biofeedback machine that measures brain waves; by watching patterns on a computer screen, people can consciously learn to change their breathing patterns and alleviate stress, which is a major cause of seizures As Robert Fried, Ph D , a researcher at Hunter College in New York says, "Breath controls brain waves " Neurofeedback is a new form of biofeedback that actually displays a person's brain waves on a computer screen
Using a biofeedback machine, practitioners teach patients how to control and change such autonomic body functions as blood pressure, heart rate, circulations, digestion and perspiration Through monitoring "feedback" using auditory or visual cues, users extend their understanding of physiological functioning far past the normal five senses
A procedure in which a person learns to control through conscious thought internal physiological processes such as blood pressure, heart and respiration rate, skin temperature, sweating, and constriction of particular muscles
A method of monitoring minute metabolic changes in one's own body with the aid of sensitive machines The technique is used especially for stress-related conditions such as asthma, migraines, insomnia, and high blood pressure Clients learn to make subtle adjustments to move toward a more balanced internal state by consciously visualizing, relaxing, or imagining while observing light, sound, or metered feedback (7)
a technique that teaches control of breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure Biofeedback is used to combat anxiety disorders and chronic stress
EEG Neurotherapy used as a non-medication treatment approach to ADD/ADHD
A procedure that permits individuals to monitor their own physiological processes (such as heart rate, blood pressure) which they are normally unaware of, to learn to control them
Treatment that uses relaxation and visualization to lower stress levels, alleviate headaches, or reduce blood pressure Instruments measure information about bodily processes, such as muscle tension, skin temperature, brain waves, and respiration URL: http: //www hp-add com/biofb htm
A technique that enables a person to exercise some control over the functions of the autonomic nervous system
A technique in which patients are trained to gain some voluntary control over certain physiological conditions, such as blood pressure and muscle tension, to promote relaxation
A way to enhance a body signal so that one is aware of something that usually occurs at a level below consciousness An electronic device provides information about a body function (such as heart rate) so that the person using biofeedback can learn to control that function Biofeedback can help people with arthritis learn to relax their muscles In this case, an electronic device amplifies the sound of a muscle contracting, so the person with arthritis knows that the muscle is not relaxed
a technique in which migraine patients are trained to gain some voluntary control over certain physiological conditions, such as blood pressure and muscle tension, to promote relaxation
Is the means by which one can monitor how one functions on a physical and emotional level, by using a simple, non-invasive electronic means of monitoring these functions This method provides useful information, and signals the change that we initiate with intent, to alter any inappropriate circumstance or condition, like lowering blood pressure Biofeedback instruments record continuous information about subtle changes in physiological stress responses (such as muscle tension, temperature, respiration, skin resistance or heart rate) Using this information, various guided relaxation techniques are employed to control the appropriate symptoms, which can include anything from anxiety to muscle spasms
the technique of making unconscious or involuntary bodily processes (such as heartbeats or brain waves) perceptible to the senses (as by the use of an oscilloscope) in order to manipulate them by conscious mental control
uses electronic devices to monitor and to assist learning to control involuntary body processes, including blood pressure and pulse rate, as a way of modifying emotional states such as anxiety or depression Galvanic biofeedback measures the skin's electrical conductivity while brainwave biofeedback monitors the different wavelengths of brain activity
Biofeedback is the giving of immediate information to a subject about his bodily processes (such as heart rate), which are usually unconscious In biofeedback, the subject is able to control those processes through training and practice Biofeedback is an experimental treatment for disturbances of bodily regulation, such as hypertension Biofeedback is mostly effective for treating high blood pressure, migraine, and epilepsy
{i} technique by which one controls one's automatic bodily functions (by monitoring brain waves, blood pressure, etc.)
a method of helping people to relax by teaching them to control their heart rate, breathing etc, using an instrument attached to the body. Information supplied instantaneously about an individual's own physiological processes. Data concerning cardiovascular activity (blood pressure and heart rate), temperature, brain waves, or muscle tension is monitored electronically and returned or "fed back" to the individual through a gauge on a meter, a light, or a sound. The goal is for the patient to use that biological data to learn to voluntarily control the body's reactions to stressful external events. A type of behaviour therapy, biofeedback training is sometimes used in combination with psychotherapy to help patients understand and change their habitual reactions to stress. Complaints treated through biofeedback include migraine headaches, gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, and epileptic seizures
The use of instrumentation to bring covert physiological processes to the conscious awareness of the individual, usually by visual or auditory signals
A process that provides sight or sound information about functions of the body, including blood pressure, muscle tension, etc By trial and error, one can learn to consciously control these functions Useful in some paralyzed people to retrain certain muscles Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback is a type of therapy that teaches, or re-teaches, the brain to use existing nerve pathways more efficiently Some people with incomplete injuries may regain function by using computerized electrical stimulation to reproduce the specific motor signals of certain muscles below the point of injury
Based on the premise that people can use their minds to influence the function of their bodies, Biofeedback is a technique used to help people learn to relax and gain control over normally non-voluntary body functions It allows a person to monitor signals from his or her own body (such as brain-waves, blood pressure or muscle tension) through a set of instruments
a form of mind control over the body that allows a person to reduce sensations of pain
Utilizing sensitive machines patients see the effects of muscle tension and learn to relax muscle systems
