26 years ago I had biofeedback when I had chemo for cancer. It consisted of being in a sensory-deprived room. With your mind you had to get a 'beep" producd by electrodes to your head connected to what looked like a TV monitor to stop beeping. I think it was a form of meditation where you had to get your brain to calm itself. I had a very unusual positive spiritual experience. I think it is worth trying, but have no idea what its effect might be on PD symptoms.
