AVS vs Biofeedback

Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie looking for advice on the effectiveness of using AVS compared to biofeedback. It seems that both AVS and biofeedback are trying to achieve similar objectives, ie improve concentration & cognition and reduce stress, but which one is more effective.

Just a little background, I run a mental development centre for children aged from 5 to 16 years old. I meet many ADD & ADHD and sometimes autistic children who need help improving their concentration & cognitive abilities. Other than that, I am also interested on how these technologies could help with stress & meditation for adults.

Any input & help from anyone would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there and welcome!

There is a ton of good reading on this site and others regarding how AVS works and how it is best used. Please take a little time to read some of this good information, and if you need any clarification, please feel free to post replies in those threads if relevant, or back here if you cannot find any threads dealing with the specifics that you are looking for.

I'd start with these threads:

I would appreciate to receive further inputs from those who have first-hand experiences with both AVS and biofeedback.
