Breathing rate (RR), end-tidal percent CO2, and EEG were obtained in three groups: psychiatric referral subjects presenting with anxiety, panic phobia, depression and migraine; a group of idiopathic seizure sufferers; and a group of asymptomatic controls. Virtually all the noncontrol subjects were found to show moderate to severe hyperventilation and the accompanying EEG dysrhythmia. The seizure group subjects were taught diaphragmatic respiration with end-tidal percent CO2 biofeedback. The training normalized their respiration and altered their EEGs and seizure frequency.
对三组对象进行了呼吸频率（RR）、呼气末二氧化碳百分比和脑电图测量：患有焦虑、惊恐恐惧症、抑郁症和偏头痛的精神科转诊患者；一组特发性癫痫患者；以及一组无症状对照组。几乎所有非对照组对象都表现出中度至重度的通气过度以及伴随的脑电图节律紊乱。癫痫组患者接受了基于呼气末二氧化碳百分比生物反馈的膈式呼吸训练。该训练使他们的呼吸恢复正常，并改变了他们的脑电图和癫痫发作频率。
