Abstract

Biofeedback is a process by which a person learns to control physiological functions of their body that they would otherwise not be conscously aware of. This is accomplished by relaying real-time information back to the user in the form of data or a game. The user then modifies their physiological activity in order to achieve set goals through a process of operant conditioning. Neurofeedback is a form of biofeedback that utilizes EEG monitoring to collect a person’s electrical brainwave activity and display it back to them. In this experiment, the method in which that feedback is displayed to the subject is through a video game format.
