Introduction to the biofeedback method WF-PS-N-WMB
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the biofeedback method, including neurofeedback. During the workshop, students will learn to use basic biofeedback equipment.
Topics covered:
- the genesis of biofeedback and the basic areas of application of applied psychophysiology
- basic mechanisms of action (instrumental conditioning)
- characteristics of the EEG signal
- basic concepts
- biofeedback and neurofeedback
- construction of apparatus, proper handling of the device and electrodes
- operation of the device in terms of equipment and software
- conducting training sessions
- open sessions and scripts

- student's work during classes
Assessment criteria:
Very good assessment - the student is able to clearly and precisely give the basic areas of application of the bfb method; indicate the scientific basis and mechanisms of action; indicate the limitations of the method; knows the structure and functions of the apparatus and its individual elements; is able to independently prepare and conduct a simple open and scripting training session; is able to plan the use of equipment in scientific research
Evaluation ndst - the student is not able to provide the areas of application of the bfb method; does not know the scientific basis and mechanisms of operation of the method; does not know the limitations of the use of the method; does not recognize and cannot use the elements of the apparatus; is unable to independently prepare or conduct a simple training session; cannot plan the use of the bfb method in scientific research
