LateBloomer, is neurofeedback the same thing as biofeedback? My friend used a computer game-based method of teaching biofeedback for herself and her son.

Actually, she bought the program for her son--She has high blood pressure and anxiety problems, and had taken a few classes in relaxation techniques, and she thought she had already mastered these skills. When she got the program and tried it out before letting her son use it, however, she found out that she was not nearly as effective as she thought.

As I recall from her description, the person playing has to get their heart rate and breathing rates within certain ranges to progress through the game. Using the computer game, she could see for the first time that she was not getting into the acceptable range when she thought she was. So, it was helpful for her.
