A protocol report on 183 patients with depression that had not responded to medication, trained for six sessions to reduce 2-7 Hz and increase 15-18 Hz at a right fronto-polar site chosen for its likely effect on the subgenual cingulate. Most improved substantially, and almost all kept the improvement for a year or more.
