Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
Using instruments (such as heart rate monitors) to transform unconscious physiological processes (heart rate, brain waves, skin conductance) into perceivable signals (sounds, images), thereby helping people learn to consciously regulate their physiological state.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Visualizing the mind-body connection. It demonstrates that willpower can influence physiology. Without instruments, we can perform simple biofeedback by counting breaths or feeling the pulse to calm anxiety.
Anchor fast decisions
Biofeedback refers to presenting physiological signals such as heart rate, muscle electrical activity, and skin temperature to the individual in real time through instruments, enabling them to learn to actively regulate functions that were originally unconscious. It is commonly used for stress reduction and rehabilitation.
