Scholarly Journals & Publications
Biofeedback and Neurofeedback Therapy
The BioLife Health Center Research and Development Department follows the practice of Peer-reviewed (refereed or scholarly) journals - Articles are written by experts and are reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in the journal in order to ensure the article's quality. (The article is more likely to be scientifically valid, reach reasonable conclusions, etc.)
