Abstract

This chapter presents the basic biofeedback training paradigm, introduces commonly used biofeedback modalities, and describes the physiological processes measured by each. In addition, the chapter describes common applications for each of the biofeedback modalities used in everyday practice, the importance of evidence-based practice, and the role of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA) in setting international training and practice standards.
