SESSION VIII SYMPOSIUM: HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

The five papers presented in this session covered avery wide range of topics from EMG biofeedback train­ing to the timing of events under the control of multi­programmed real-time systems.The first paper by Pope and Gersten describes acomputer-based system for response-contingent EMGbiofeedback-assisted relaxation training. The paperdescribes the basic shaping procedure for the relaxationresponse, the hardware (a 24K Nova 2/10), and theoperation ofthe shaping program. I feel that the primaryaudience for this paper will be individuals who are work­ing in the field of biofeedback and are interested indeveloping computer based systems for their own re­search and clinical work.The next two papers, plus others given at a previousmeeting (e.g., Cohen
