Biofeedback ModelClassical Conditioning
An unconscious associate learning process that modifies reflexive behavior and prepares us to rapidly respond to future situations. Slide4
Biofeedback ModelOperant Conditioning An unconscious associate learning process that modifies the form and occurrence of the voluntary behavior by manipulating its consequences.Slide5

What It Does: uses sensors to monitor the brains electrical activity. Used for ADHD, addiction, depression, traumatic brain injury, insomnia, peak performance and many other neurological disorders.
On the average 20 sessions is required to create and retain the change.
Each session is 20 – 25 minutes of training time. Using operant conditioning teaches the brain self regulation.
Brainwave BiofeedbackSlide18
Neurofeedback SessionWhat Happens?Slide19
What it does: uses a band around the abdomen to monitor the breathing and respiration rate. Can create lasting change in 5 sessions. “Breathe is essentially on loan to us; we must return it when we are done with it”
Breathe Well, Be WellRobert Fried, PHD
Respiratory BiofeedbackSlide20
Optimal BreathingIs ImportantShortness of breath & heart disease are linkedHigh correlation – high blood pressure & poor breathingBreathing drives the nervous systemPromotes weight loss – oxygen burns fats & calories
Breathing well key to sleeping well and waking up refreshed Slide21
What kind of breather are you? Breathing predominantly in the chest causes SEMG in the trapezius area.The recording below from Peper, Gibney, Tylova, Harvey, and
Combatalade (2008) shows the difference between thoracic and effortless diaphragmatic breathing.
Types of BreathSlide22
Heart Rhythm PatternsHEART RATE variability biofeedback is a new technique for training human beings to change the variability and dominant rhythms in their heart activity. Slide23
Most
muscles are
controlled involuntarilyThe SEMG
records muscle
waves from muscles. We measure the amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. We graph in the time and frequency domain.
SEMG (muscle tension) Slide24
Frontales – Forehead tensionAction: draws the scalp forward, raises eyebrows, and wrinkles the forehead Sensor placement: locate the actives between the eyebrows and hairlineClinical application: anxiety, stress profile, and tension-type headache

SEMG (muscle tension) Slide25
Electro Dermal Activity andTemperature Biofeedback
Basic function of sweat gland – thermoregulation. EDA is strongly related to emotions. Fight or flight
Training the “Relaxation Zone”
By breathing correctly the blood
vessels will relax and vasodilatation
occursSlide26

What the Studies Found…The importance of a cognitive approach in treating insomniaThe neurocognitive perspective is powerful, can establish direct links, and casual directionsThere is evidence that hyper-arousal is implicated in insomnia
There is solid evidence that CBT is effective for persistent insomnia and is generalizable and sustainable
Stimulus control therapy is most effective single treatmentResearch supports EMG and EEG biofeedbackMost patients will benefit from either treating insomnia on a cognitive level
with or without medication Slide31
