Evidence-led research pages: connect therapy, studies, and training on one platform.

Research

Explore the science behind biofeedback: stress responses, autonomic nervous system, vagus nerve, heart rate variability (HRV), neurofeedback and the history of the field, in plain language.

Science, evidence and next steps

Each page explains one topic in plain language. For the evidence matrix and studies by condition, open Studies & Certification. For symptoms and appointments, open Therapy.

Next step: what would you like to do?

Three shortcuts for science, evidence and therapy. Not an online diagnosis.

See topics

Scientific basis, autonomic nervous system, heart rhythm and history.

This content does not replace medical advice. For health questions, speak with your doctor.

For the evidence table by condition and levels (strong, moderate, preliminary), see Studies & Certification. Below are background science topics.

Explore by topic

Themes that explain how biofeedback is used in practice.

This research section is educational, not medical advice for your individual situation. Each topic explains background science (such as autonomic nervous system, heart rate variability, or neurofeedback vs biofeedback) so you can read the evidence matrix and therapy condition pages with context. The aim is approachable language, with mechanisms and limits of evidence clearly stated. The same certified devices and training support research reading, evidence by condition, and therapy when you need care.

Looking for sessions or a referral? Use the therapist network or booking. Practitioners can tie research reading to certified training and Mandelay Q9 or SCIO devices with CE marking, consistent with the platform's commercial policy.
