Biofeedback and neurofeedback aren't the same thing. While biofeedback measures heart rate, breathing rate, and galvanic skin response, nuerofeedback specifically measures brainwaves. Whereas biofeedback is generally used to help people relax and manage anxiety, etc. nuerofeedback is more typically used to help people improve certain kinds of concentration or reduce epileptic symptoms.
