- Biofeedback:
-
A sensing and response system that sources physiologic human data (typically using sensors on- or off-body) mapped to selectable content (typically digital) as feedback to self-inform participants of their input consciously, subconsciously, or subliminally. Often used in treatments to teach patients to modify specific physiologic functions.
- Gamification:
-
Application of game elements within a typically nongame context. Contextually, in this case [re]habilitation, healthcare, and interactive performance art, targeting participant motivation, immersion/engagement, and playfully rewarding positive experiences offering inclusive well-being. (Regaining skills, abilities, or knowledge that may have been lost or compromised as well as helping disabled people attain, keep, or improve skills and functioning for daily living – in line with the...
