I've done a lot of neurofeedback, a subset of biofeedback. It seems to have had a strong positive effect on me. Neurofeedback, and perhaps all of biofeedback, pushes you in some direction so make sure you determine if you would indeed be better off moving as such.

Anything that is attainable for the common person? Is there a particularly affordable device that you use?

No, and you should do it with a professional at first.

Could you be a bit more specific about the positive effect?

More energy in the morning and lower levels of stress. But you can't generalize from this as to how neurofeedback would impact you.
