Biofeedback is a technique that provides real-time information about physiological processes (heart rate, brain waves, muscle tension, skin conductance) so that a person can learn to consciously regulate them.
Common Modalities
- •Heart rate variability (HRV) — breathing coherence, stress resilience
- •EEG/Neurofeedback — brain wave patterns (alpha, theta, beta)
- •EMG — muscle tension
- •Galvanic skin response — arousal level
In ONDA Life
Biofeedback principles underlie many ONDA practices. Connecting a fitness tracker or smartwatch provides real-time vitals during practice. Part 7 biomarkers (P300, saccadic stability, theta/alpha states) can be measured and trained through biofeedback approaches.
Scientific Basis
Built on: Polyvagal Theory (Porges); Psychoneuroimmunology (Ader & Cohen); neuroplasticity research.
