Data to produce the results of the publication: “Reducing the Soleus Stretch Reflex with Conditioning: Exploring Game- and Impedance-based Biofeedback”

The work presents the exploration of the feasibility of two forms of biofeedback to obtain a within-session reduction of the Soleus stretch reflex with conditioning. First, we explored the feasibility of gamification and second, the feasibility of combined game- and impedance-based biofeedback.<br>In short, we showed feasibility of EMG-, game-based biofeedback within the operant conditioning paradigm, which calls for further research on gamification of conditioning paradigms to obtain improved participant motivation and engagement, while achieving long-term conditioning effects. Contrarily, the use of impedance-, game-based biofeedback did not result in a feasible conditioning paradigm, thus the time-intensiveness and slow learning curve of the conditioning paradigm remain an open challenge.本研究探索了两种生物反馈（biofeedback）形式的可行性，旨在通过条件化训练实现单次训练内比目鱼肌（Soleus）牵张反射的减弱。其一，我们探索了游戏化生物反馈的可行性；其二，我们探索了融合游戏与阻抗式生物反馈的可行性。 简言之，我们证实了在操作性条件反射范式下，基于肌电图（Electromyography, EMG）的游戏化生物反馈具备可行性。后续仍需针对条件反射范式的游戏化开展进一步研究，以在实现长期条件化训练效果的同时，提升受试者的参与动机与投入度。与之相反，采用基于阻抗的游戏化生物反馈并未构建出可行的条件反射范式，因此该条件反射范式所存在的耗时性与学习曲线平缓问题，仍是尚未解决的开放性挑战。
