Welcome to the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback
AAPB promotes the science underlying applied psychophysiology, biofeedback, and neurofeedback to improve health, quality of life, and performance through research, education, and practice.
What is Biofeedback?
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.

AAPB Virtual Education: Novelty or Evidence? Virtual Reality in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback
Virtual reality (VR) is entering biofeedback (BFB) and neurofeedback (NFB) practice faster than its physiological evidence. This session asks whether VR adds clinical value beyond novelty, drawing on our own data and the wider literature.
