“Biofeedback and Neurofeedback Are Complementary
Learning self-regulation through technology is the aim of both biofeedback and neurofeedback that affect peripheral and central nervous systems, and muscle activity. Changing voluntary and involuntary functions, and their interactions, in the service of health and performance are the aims of these self-regulation methods.
Tosti and her Italian and Brazilian colleagues (2024) reviewed studies using biofeedback (BFB) and neurofeedback (NFB) together to address nicotine addiction, sports performance, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Although the number of studies and participants did not allow a systematic review or meta-analysis, they showed where BFB/NFB integration shows promise, whether BFB and NFB are conducted concurrently or in sequence. Their premise was that since the physiology underlying movement, thinking, and emotion are intimately intertwined, integrated BFB/NFB training should have a synergistic effect. Integrated training promotes personalized health care and performance enhancement.”
