Noumic
Biofeedback machines
Biofeedback in concept and
biofeedback machines first became popularly known of in the 1960s and
1970s. The Noumic biofeedback machine is a self-contained,
high-technology device for the 21st Century.History of biofeedback
machines
In the 1950’s and 1960’s, biofeedback machines were complex devices used
by psychologists and biofeedback therapists in laboratories. A patient
was ‘connected’ to a biofeedback machine and the psychologist would
operate and interpret the response of the machine. The psychologist
would advise patients of what to do in order to influence the
biofeedback machine which would then indicate if the patient was
successful in following the instructions.
In the early history of biofeedback machines they were scientific
instruments that were difficult to operate with their output hard to
interpret except by psychologists. However, by practicing and
experimenting with biofeedback machines general biofeedback
concepts were soon established and claims were made that important
physiological and psychological benefits could be achieved by practicing
and learning how to control a biofeedback machine.
Psychologists found that patients could be instructed and shown how to
use a biofeedback machine and by doing this patients improved aspects of
their physiological and psychological performance. For example, in the
early history of biofeedback machines it was established that monitoring
the electrical conductivity of human skin enabled people to learn how to
relax. Improved relaxation then had positive affects in a range of
disorders such as reducing high blood pressure and reducing anxiety
disorders. As biofeedback equipment was bulky, expenses and complex,
biofeedback in years up to the 1980’s was restricted to laboratories and
University psychology research centres.Noumic
Biofeedback
in concept and modern biofeedback machine
Biofeedback machines in the past were bulky had complex adjustment
dials, made confusing sounds or gave complex readouts. In recent years
smaller devices and computer programs that are more user-friendly have
become available.
The Noumic device enables people more easily to incorporate the benefits
of biofeedback in their lives. It is a self-contained, miniaturised,
electronic, biofeedback machine with no dials or moving parts, no wires,
no visual display screens or other complex to use parts. Noumic is a
hand-held, high technology biofeedback machine with a uniquely modern
appearance. It is one of the new biofeedback machines for the 21st
century.
