1. A distributed biofeedback system for managing a biofeedback session, comprising;
- (a) an input means for receiving physiological data from a user;
(b) an output means for communicating feedback to the user;
(c) an input node connected to the input means for receiving data from the input means;
(d) a first-level data node connected to the input node for receiving and processing data received from the input node;
(e) a remote input node connected to the first-level data node for receiving data from the first-level data node and further processing the data and preparation of the data for remote outputting;
(f) a remote feedback node having remote feedback inputs connected to the remote input node for producing a remote feedback output responsive to the remote feedback inputs;
(g) a first-level feedback node having first-level feedback inputs connected to the first-level data node and the remote feedback node for producing a first-level feedback output responsive to the first-level feedback inputs;
(j) a primary feedback node having primary feedback inputs connected to the input node and the first-level feedback node for producing a primary feedback output for controlling the output means.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling a biofeedback session. The system utilizes distributed processing that includes localized processing capability allowing a user to initiate a self-controlled biofeedback session and additionally includes remote processing capabilities enabling simultaneous remote analysis and monitoring of the session.
