Re: [Openeeg-list] Trying to do some research on the effects of biofeedback

Hi Laura

This site is DEAD.  It feels like a lifetime ago that I last posted here

Firstly, I think you should speak / search Neurofeedback (NFB) rather than
biofeedback.

If someone tells me he is interested in biofeedback I think about:

- Hand temperature biofeedback to reduce migraines
- GSR / SCL skin resistance biofeedback for meditation, hypertension, etc
- HRV (Heart Rate Variance),  for similar uses as SCL
-  etc.

Here are three group recommendations:

Brain-trainer
brain-trainer.com  run by Peter van Deusen.  Peter used to be a hospital
administrator (I think), many years ago in the US.  I think the man must
have at least 20 years of NFB experience by now.  Very helpful and
knowledgeable.  For the last few years he has been operating from
Brazil.  He has a very active community and a forum where they discuss
various NFB applications, etc.

OpenBCI
https://openbci.com/
Their main goal is to use BCI ( Brain Computer Interfacing) for command and
control.  For instance, a handycaped person that can control a wheelchair
or computer with a BCI interface.

OpenVIBE
http://openvibe.inria.fr/
A research organisation based in France
They seem to concentrate on the software layer running on various BCI
equipment.  Not sure how active they are these days.
