Exam 10: The Covert Subcodes: Biofeedback, Olfaction, and Chronemics
Using an example, discuss how you have seen one of the biofeedback systems communicate something to you nonverbally.
One example of how I have seen a biofeedback system communicate something to me nonverbally is through heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback. During a session, I was connected to a biofeedback device that measured my heart rate and displayed it on a screen. As I practiced deep breathing and relaxation techniques, I noticed that the pattern of my heart rate on the screen changed. It became more coherent and rhythmic, indicating that I was in a state of relaxation and balance.
The biofeedback system was communicating to me nonverbally by visually showing the changes in my heart rate pattern. This feedback helped me understand the impact of my relaxation techniques and allowed me to adjust my breathing and mindset to achieve a more coherent heart rate pattern. It was a powerful way for the biofeedback system to communicate with me without using words, and it helped me improve my ability to self-regulate and manage stress.
