ABSTRACT

Biofeedback is a technique that provides real-time feedback on physiological data, such as heart rate and brainwave activity. This talk describes a study that evaluates the effectiveness of biofeedback during music therapy sessions in improving the well-being of terminally ill cancer patients in the Palliative Care Unit of the Hospital del Mar, Barcelona. Music therapy sessions were conducted with and without biofeedback, consisting of EEG, ECG and respiratory data, and their effectiveness was assessed.
