Abstract

There were determined indices of the cardio-vascular system and the spectral power of alpha activity of the electroencephalogram (EEG) during a single biofeedback training session in healthy persons and patients with hypertension (both taking and not taking regular medication). The persons with uncorrected hypertension have lowest successful biofeedback control, persistent sympathetic activity, reduced blood oxygen saturation and lack of power increase of EEG alpha-activity.

Keywords

hypertension, biofeedback, heart rate variability, electroencephalogram.
