What Is Biofeedback?
Biofeedback is a psychophysiological technique that allows patients to observe their bodily and mental parameters in real time, learning to voluntarily regulate them. Within the MindLAB Set, biofeedback is based on electrodermal activity, which is closely linked to arousal, the level of psychophysiological activation.
Analysis and interpretation of physiological data
How It Works in the MindLAB Set
The MindLAB Set provides:
- Visual feedback: graphs and color bars showing arousal trends
- Auditory feedback: sounds modulated according to activation levels
- Real-time tracing: continuous visualization of electrodermal activity
- Data recording and comparison: archiving and session-to-session tracking
Guided by the therapist, the patient learns to modulate arousal through breathing, relaxation, and visualization exercises.
Electrodermal biofeedback is supported by decades of research in:
- Clinical psychology
- Psychiatry
- Neuropsychology
- Psychosomatic medicine
- Psychiatric rehabilitation
- Child and adolescent neuropsychiatry
The protocol developed by Tullio Scrimali integrates biofeedback with experimental psychodiagnostics, offering a scientific, personalized, and visualizable approach.
