Design and evaluation of a methodology to perform personalized visual biofeedback for reducing respiratory amplitude in radiation treatment.

29 Apr 2009 A methodology to perform personalized visual biofeedback aimed to the reduction of respiratory amplitude is here proposed. A custom-made software allows to adapt the biofeedback parameters to a patient's respiratory pattern by calculating a limiting ... Read more...

Low-vision rehabilitation by means of MP-1 biofeedback examination in patients with different macular diseases: a pilot study.

23 Apr 2009 Macular disease is one of the main causes of visual impairment. We studied the efficacy of low-vision rehabilitation by means of MP-1 biofeedback examination in patients with different macular disease. Five patients were enrolled (3 female and 2 ... Read more...

The effects of respiratory sinus arrhythmia biofeedback on heart rate variability and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms: a pilot study.

23 Apr 2009 Recent studies have found a significant association between PTSD and low heart rate variability (HRV), a biomarker of autonomic dysregulation. Research indicates that respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) biofeedback increases HRV while reducing ... Read more...
