Biofeedback
Quick revise
Used for controlling muscular tension and assists with long term stress.
Performers are taught to control muscular tension by relaxing (by any chosen method) the specific muscles showing tension on a machine.
The degree of tension is noted by the sound the machine makes. By linking the feeling with the noise, the performer eventually can identify the tension without assistance.
The machine provides objective biological feedback about muscle activity, skin temperature, heart rate and electromyography which informs about the performers’ success at relieving the tension.
