What's the diffference between neurofeedback and biofeedback?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Actually, Neurofeedback is a very specific type of Biofeedback according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurofeedba…
"Neurofeedback... is a type of biofeedback that uses realtime displays of electroencephalography to illustrate brain activity, often with a goal of controlling central nervous system activity."

I also points out "The most common and well-documented use of neurofeedback is in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder..." and "Other areas where neurofeedback has been researched include treatment of substance abuse, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, OCD, learning disabilities, bipolar disorder, conduct disorder, cognitive impairment, migraines, headaches, chronic pain, autism spectrum disorders, sleep dysregulation, PTSD and concussion."

On the flip side, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofeedback points out that "Biofeedback is the process of becoming aware of various physiological functions..." In other words, Biofeedback is for more physiological issues whereas Neurofeedback is more for the brain/mental side of it. Good luck and I hope I helped!
