MASBBM Member Spoke at AAPB in Daytona Beach!

Deborah Stokes, a member of the MASBBM, was part of a symposium entitled Recent Advances in Biofeedback for Migraine Headaches at the AAPB’s (Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback) annual conference held in May 2008 in Daytona Beach, Florida. One of the last sessions of the conference, the session was extremely well attended and received. Deb joined with Jeffrey Carmen and Siegfried Othmer, who also showed a slide presentation from Frank Andrasik, who could not be at the symposium. Congratulations to Deb for showcasing her work on this important topic on the national level!

New Definition of Biofeedback Approved by AAPB, BCIA and ISNR

Biofeedback is a process that enables an individual to learn how to change physiological activity for the purposes of improving health and performance. Precise instruments measure physiological activity such as brainwaves, heart function, breathing, muscle activity, and skin temperature. These instruments rapidly and accurately "feed back" information to the user. The presentation of this information – often in conjunction with changes in thinking, emotions, and behavior – supports desired physiological changes. Over time, these changes can endure without continued use of an instrument.
