Questions to be answered:

1. What is Biofeedback? Some short information.

2. Can one influence one’s brain pattern (EEG) by the means of biofeedback?

3. What advantage can result from that influence as far as ITC is concerned?

For further information have a look at the websites given. It would demand too much space to inform you here about all corresponding situations in regards to brain influences and healing uses.

1. What is Biofeedback? Some short information!

Quote:

The word "biofeedback" was coined in the late 1969 to describe laboratory procedures (developed in the 1940’s) that trained research subjects to alter brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, heart rate and other bodily functions that are not normally controlled voluntarily.

Unquote.     (From AAPB Website: see website list)

That method is used now also to learn to relax and to go for example into the "Alpha-" mode.

2. Can one influence one’s brain pattern (EEG) by the means of biofeedback?

Yes, one can. Connected to an EEG device one can see one’s brain activity pattern. Using the right method one can learn to alter the brain pattern to a more Alpha-activity for example.

3. What advantage can result from that influence as far as ITC is concerned?

There is an experience in ITC that says: when not stressed, nothing awaiting, although hoping, when relaxed, then the probability increases that one gets occurrences in a sitting.

If task H: 4 g leads to the recognition that a certain EEG pattern occurs while having contact, then one could try to achieve that pattern by the use for example with a biofeedback device.

The big advantage for the use of the biofeedback device instead of concentration and/or meditation for an untrained person is, that one can control one’s EEG pattern in that situation. So one could see whether the alpha or other waves predominate. It is a feedback loop with a high efficiency.
