Definition
- Biofeedback as an area of inquiry and clinical application in medicine, psychology, and education first appeared in the literature in the 1960s. In 1975, Leonard Zaichkowsky first proposed that biofeedback had strong potential to help athletes self-regulate the psychophysiological processes that interfere with optimal performance.
