The Northeast Regional Biofeedback Society represents the professional biofeedback practitioners of this region. Biofeedback is an increasingly important medical and psychological treatment modality. Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback that measures and trains brain waves. Since its introduction in the 1960’s, biofeedback has steadily gained recognition as a bio-behavioral, non-drug intervention for treatment of a wide variety of disorders. Biofeedback is a clinically effective, standard or complementary therapy that is recognized as non-invasive, cost-effective, short-term, complementary and insurance-reimbursable in many cases.
