Produktbeschreibung

Many practitioners use biofeedback (BFB) and neurofeedback (NFB) to help individuals optimize their performance in sports and artistic fields. This is the first text to present case studies from these practitioners. Each study presents readers with a comprehensive overview of BFB and NFB approaches, and demonstrates the unique tailoring of techniques and procedures that practitioners can implement to help clients achieve their goals. A road map for those looking to incorporate BFB and NFB into their work, Case Studies in Applied Psychophysiology is an asset to both students and clinicians in psychology, kinesiology, and exercise physiology, and related fields.
