Biofeedback
an evidence based approach in clinical practice
Peper, E., Harvey, R.,
& Takabayashi, N. (2009). Biofeedback an evidence based approach
in clinical practice. Japanese Journal of Biofeedback Research,
36(1), 3-10.
Clinical
biofeedback procedures are highly effective ameliorating a variety
of symptoms that range from urinary incontinence to hypertension
as well as assess a person’s somatic awareness by making the
invisible visible. The paper reviews the biofeedback process and
some psychosomatic applications. Psychosomatic patients often demand
more skills than just attaching them to the equipment. Successful
treatment includes a) assessing physiology as a diagnostic strategy,
b) explaining the illness processes and healing strategies that
are congruent with patients’ perspective, c) reframing the
patients’ illness beliefs, and d) psychophysiological training
with homework practices to generalize the skills. This process is
illustrated through the description of a single session with a patient
who experienced severe gastrointestinal distress and insomnia.

/ Regenerative Music in the key of EEG
REGEN3 will present the latest developments
in EEG brainwave music research, by presenting an ensemble comprised
of Toronto jazz musicians playing music which is driven and altered
by the brainwaves of the audience. Audience members can become
part of an advanced mass EEG system which uses audience brainwaves
to control both the music and lighting environment: a truly 'smart'
building. Join us and see what happens when the mood of the environment
is "regenerated" by the collective consciousness of
the attendees.
Surface Electromyography: Use, Design and Technological
Overview
It is simply remarkable how the pace of
science and technology has advanced so rapidly over the past 300
years. It is particularly astonishing to bear in mind that a whole
fundamental branch of physics (electrical) has developed in this
time. To see this stark contrast in relation to our present day
developments in the applied sciences, specifically my topic of
electromyography, we need only to consider these following
historical breakthroughs.

People,
especially young adults, are spending increasingly more and more
time connected to their computer (Subrahmanyam, Kraut, Greenfield
& Gross, 2000). At school or home they send emails, chat and
surf the net, and sit behind the computer eight hours a day at work.
Even when going on vacation, they stay connected to the internet
through their "Blackberry" or Wi-Fi connections at hotels
and in coffee shops.
