hi
1. about my goal - it was just to design the s.w. with some option
that in future it could be used for bfb/nfb . just not to do the same
work twice in the future . i know it delays in some when open source
s.w. is ready but , we have some nfb soft and second it's the right
way to work .
2.about bfb , there's on type of bfb that is very simple to do -
hand temperature biofeedback. the tools are cheap and availble
- a simple digital thermometer .but still it's not very used
technique . why ? can anybody start working on this area ?
because to some extent i think the same things that prevent
nfb from bein popular , and the same things that prevent thermal
bfb from being popular .
and i think if we do some serious work on making thermal bfb
popular we have a stronger base for making nfb popular .
it might be very helpfull to our goal (giving the power of nfb
to public) .
3. on a personal note , could someone write a serious note on thermal
training ? because i have started on this , and i have a few
questions , like for example what temp should i achieve ?
what techinques can i use to achieve lowe temp ???
