El sistema SCIO no remplaza la función del terapeuta,
sino que la complementa.
SCIO es un sistema informático (Software) y mediante una caja de interface SCIO -Box (Hardware), se establece una conexión con la persona mediante cinco electrodos de grafito.

What is Biofeedback?
Biofeedback is a method by which people are enabled to learn to influence certain physical processes in order to improve health or performance. This is accomplished through the use of precise instruments which measure physiological processes and feed information back to the person via a computer or other type of display. Having access to real time, immediate information about what is going on inside the body enables a person to make specific changes in thinking or behavior, and see the physiological results of those changes right away. Over time, a person can learn to control the physiological process voluntarily without the help of the instrument.
One example of biofeedback treatment would be the use of skin temperature training or thermography to treat vascular headaches. These types of headaches are associated with the constriction of blood vessels that results in a reduction in blood flow. In the peripheral areas of the body, this restricted blood flow causes a reduction in skin temperature that may only be detectable by a sensitive biofeedback instrument. Treatment would involve measuring these small temperature changes through a sensor placed on a fingertip, and showing the person those changes on a computer display. The person would watch the display and try to increase their temperature measure by changing thoughts and feelings. Over time they would learn to warm their skin temperature, thereby opening their blood vessels and increasing blood flow. This method ultimately increases blood flow to the head, reducing the incidence of vascular type headaches.
Biofeedback has been shown to useful in treating the following:
• Migraine headaches
• Tension headaches
• Other types of chronic pain
• Disorders of the digestive system
• Incontinence
• High blood pressure
• Cardiac arrhythmias (abnormalities in the rhythm of the heartbeat)
• ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder)
• Epilepsy
• Paralysis, spinal cord injury and other movement disorders.
Biofeedback is also used to improve academic and athletic performance, and its technology is being utilized in the emerging science of brain-computer interface and the development of applications in video/computer game.
