Compare biofeedback and neurofeedback, and give an example of how each might be used to manage a stressful situation
What will be an ideal response?
Biofeedback involves monitoring and adjusting one’s physiological states. By using feedback provided by a measuring device, a person could see when her blood pressure was rising and then practice stress-relieving techniques to lower it. Neurofeedback also involves feedback from machinery, but the focus is on the brain. Feedback from an active amygdala, for example, could help a person control his anxiety in a stressful situation.
