The purpose of the book is to introduce the reader to a variety of research on biofeedback. The six chapters form a sample of the range of biofeedback for physical and mental health rehabilitation in the clinic and at home. All six authors describe, in their own way, how ob‐ jective electrophysiological data provides useful measures for assessment and therapy. They

The first chapter, "Biofeedback and neurofeedback in the treatment of migraine", is written by Ph.D. student Zivoder Ivana. The second chapter by Prof. Dumitrascu looks at pelvic floor rehabilitation and is titled "Factors predicting failure in anorectal biofeedback". The third chapter by Dr Liao Da-Vin is titled "Collaborative, social-networked posture training with posturing monitoring and biofeedback". It is a useful and timely description of the role of biofeedback to support rehabilitation therapy at home and describe how objective infor‐ mation of physiotherapy treatments could increase the quality of service and the consistency of treatment outcomes. The fourth chapter by Prof. Silva Hugo is titled "Bridging the clinichome divide in muscular rehabilitation". It also covers the role of biofeedback to support rehabilitation therapy at home. The fifth chapter is written by Ph.D. student Grin-Yatsenko Vera and is titled "Effect of infra-low frequency neurofeedback on infra-slow-EEG-fluctua‐ tions". The sixth and final chapter in the volume, "Control systems of bionic limbs of the new generation and control systems with EMG signals of VR and games, toys" by M.A. Iva‐ niuk Natallia goes beyond the person and shows how biofeedback can be integrated in the

The first chapter describes a case study conducted by a nurse and a medical doctor to dem‐ onstrate biofeedback and neurofeedback for a migraine. The case demonstrates how a fe‐ male patient was taught self-regulation techniques to enhance individual control of pain and reduce migraine-related stress with a review of the literature with a focus on European pop‐ ulations. The author underlines the importance of listening to the details in an interview for

The second chapter by Prof. Dumitrascu provides a good summary and introduction to ano‐ rectal biofeedback as practiced in a tertiary hospital in Romania. The reader will learn of the key factors that influence outcomes and the technique and clinical use of anorectal biofeed‐
