Abstract

Carmen’s (2004) frontal lobe, infrared, neurofeedback procedure uses films which ‘play’ when emissions exceed a threshold and ‘pause’ when they go below, to decrease boredom and increase motivation to persist at the task of raising and sustaining emissions. Observations are reported on two well-practiced migraine subjects whose emissions plummeted and did not recover during a session when the film they were watching touched on interpersonal issues about which they were in conflict. Implications of these observations for the relationship between neurotherapy and psychotherapy are presented and discussed.
