As far as biofeedback/biosignals are concerned, I have some pointers 
at http://www.cms.dmu.ac.uk/~cph/VRbib/Neuro/misc.html

See also the pages on "VR and Art" and "multimodal interaction",
linked from my VR bibliography at http://www.cms.dmu.ac.uk/~cph/VRbib.html
In particular, Richard Brown's Alembic art installation and Char
Davies' Osmose project may be of interest.

There's a US company who sell EMG type biosignal kit
which can generate signals from arm muscles and do simple eye
tracking.  BioMuse it's called... look for papers by Hugh Lusted et al.

Howell Istance here has done work with using eye-tracking as 
input, and there's on-going work in using this for VR navigation.  
Dave Stampe at Toronto has been doing similar stuff.  Howell is
