title: [Biofeedback Therapy and Sweat].
abstract: Biofeedback training is a technique through which one can learn to control usually uncontrollable inner body functions, such as brain waves, heart rate or electrodermal activity (EDA). These 'hidden' biological signals are measured from a participant and fed back during the training, e.g., through visual and auditory changes on a computer screen. With practice, the participant learns to control this feedback, and ultimately to control their bodily responses without needing the feedback. In this article, the application of EDA biofeedback will be introduced as a therapy for specific neurological conditions.
