Biofeedback for Optimal Performance Research

In peak performance, HEG neurofeedback can be used to measure and condition focus.

• In elite athletes, the process of focusing (e.g., right before the start or a goal throw) can be measured and conditioned using nIR-HEG.

• Activating maximally at the right moment is crucial for achieving the best possible success!

• Deactivating at the right moment reduces

Biofeedback is as good as the person itself.

Biofeedback training requires more than obtaining information through appro- priate instruments. It requires systematic instruction, social guidance, and use of self-regulatoryprocesses in selecting appropriatebiofeedback modalities and mental techniques, and evaluating outcomes until the skill becomes automatized. Once the skill is mastered, athle

. In short, instructors are recommended to teach their athletes to self-monitor during biofeedback training in order to help them become aware of their initial shortcomings in biofeedback usage.

If the rifle shooter is not intrinsically motivated to use biofeedback to reduce hisher anxiety level andor does not believe he or she can use the information obtained from the machine to alter performance, biofeedback will be ineffective.Explicit training in systematic practice and self-monitoringhave been shown to be highly predictiveof students,
