Up: Feedback Media Platform Manual Next Topic: Receive FMP Product

The FMP device is a convenient extension to biofeedback and neurofeedback equipment to improve the feedback provided to the patient. Generally, the media will play when the patient is "within the zone" and and the media will pause when the patient is "not in the zone". It is normal practice to arrange for a dynamic threshold, however, so that the patient will be 85% to 90% successful.
