ABSTRACT
Mind-body practices are widely used to reduce feelings of tension and effects of stress. With biofeedback, users receive information (feedback) about their body (bio), which facilitates mind and body interactions. Biofeedback process is a highly individual experience in the way the users respond to the feedback and use it to regulate their thoughts and physiology. This research explores a novel adaptive biofeedback system for mind-body practices. The proposed biofeedback system could adapt its feedback source, information load and interface modality based on the user's physiological states, achieved performance and interaction. The adaptive biofeedback system is currently being developed and a longitudinal evaluation will be conducted in the future.

Designing and Utilizing Biofeedback Games for Emotion Regulation: The Case of Nevermind
CHI EA '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsBiofeedback games have the potential to make gaming a deeply personal experience by linking the gamespace to each player's physiological state. First, this paper describes the psycho-educational potential of the horror-themed biofeedback game Nevermind. ...
The influence of implicit and explicit biofeedback in first-person shooter games
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTo understand how implicit and explicit biofeedback work in games, we developed a first-person shooter (FPS) game to experiment with different biofeedback techniques. While this area has seen plenty of discussion, there is little rigorous ...
Towards the design of a system to measure emotions using physiological signals as Biofeedback: case study in higher education students
REHAB '19: Proceedings of the 5th Workshop on ICTs for improving Patients Rehabilitation Research TechniquesPeople frequently face situations that change their emotional state, either positively or negatively. Emotions are becoming a form of phylogenetic universal language that is more and more necessary in the area of communication to express ideas, moods or ...
