The 'neurofeedback' technique may be effective in treating patients with depression. It helps people control activity in a specific part of the brain & could help treat depression.The researchers said they believed the MRI scans allowed participants to work out, through trial and error, which sort of positive emotional imagery was most effective. But the team acknowledge that further research, involving a larger number of people, is needed to ascertain how effective the therapy is, particularly in the long term. |
