Biofeedback is the process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological functions primarily using instruments that provide information on the activity of those same systems, with a goal of being able to manipulate them at will. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Some of the processes that can be controlled include brainwaves , muscle tone , skin conductance , heart rate and pain perception.
