Biofeedback

Biofeedback is a technique that aims to help people gain more control over their physiological processes that are normally automatic and unconscious, such as heart rate, blood pressure, muscle tension and skin temperature. Electronic or mechanical devices are used to provide information (feedback) on the current state of these physiological functions. The user then learns through practice and feedback to consciously influence and regulate their own bodily functions, which often leads to improved health and reduced stress.

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a special form of biofeedback that focuses on the activity of the brain. It uses electroencephalography (EEG) or other imaging techniques to measure the electrical activity of the brain and report it back in real time. This method allows users to influence and control their own brainwaves to improve specific neurological conditions and functions. A unique feature of neurofeedback is that it directly targets the central nervous system and is used to treat a variety of disorders, including ADHD, depression, anxiety and sleep problems, by helping to promote neural plasticity and optimize brain function.

Biofeedback vs. bioscanning and bioresonance

Biofeedback, bioresonance and bioscanning are all methods that try in different ways to provide information about a person’s physical condition and promote health. However, they differ considerably in their scientific recognition and methodological foundation.

Biofeedback is a scientifically based technique in which people are trained to control their bodily functions (such as heart rate, muscle tension or skin temperature), which are normally autonomous. The effectiveness of biofeedback has been proven by numerous scientific studies. These studies show that biofeedback can be helpful for various conditions such as migraines, chronic pain and hypertension.

Bioresonance, on the other hand, is based on the idea that the human body emits specific frequencies and that illnesses are caused by disturbances in these frequencies. Devices used in bioresonance should be able to correct these frequencies. However, there is hardly any scientific evidence to confirm the effectiveness of this method. The number of scientific publications on bioresonance is significantly lower than on biofeedback, and many of the existing studies have methodological weaknesses.

Bioscanning is a less researched method that aims to scan and interpret various biological information from an individual. Similar to bioresonance, there is a significant gap in the scientific literature regarding the validation and effectiveness of this technology.

To summarize, biofeedback has a solid scientific basis and is supported by numerous studies. In contrast, both bioresonance and bioscanning lack robust scientific evidence to back up their claims. This is also reflected in the number of scientific publications on these topics, with biofeedback receiving significantly more attention in the scientific community.
