The physical, mental and total scores of subjects have been analyzed on both the therapies of Electromyography and Galvanic Skin Responses in auditory, visibility and combined process. newlineAlso the efforts have been made to check the hypothesis and check the efficacy of both biofeedback techniques on possible individual and combined modes. Through this study, it has been concluded that there is a high correlation between movement of medication of Subjects v/s Average Subject Medication Score (EMG), movement of medication of Subjects v/s Average Weighted Medication Score (GSR) and Movement of Medication of Subjects v/s Average Weighted Medication Score. newlineThe Whole Analysis has been done in Tableau software which is a data Analytics tool and gives data analysis in different visualizations. newline newline
