We introduce the notion of feedback computable functions from 2ω to 2ω, extending feedback Turing computation in analogy with the standard notion of computability for functions from 2ω to 2ω. We then show that the feedback computable functions are precisely the effectively Borel functions. With this as motivation we define the notion of a feedback computable function on a structure, independent of any coding of the structure as a real. We show that this notion is absolute, and as an example characterize those functions that are computable from a Gandy ordinal with some finite subset distinguished.
