[Experimental study of forehead temperature in autogenic training].

Thermometry of the forehead and cheeks was done in 35 longtime trainees of Autogenic Training (AT). Results revealed a significant increase in forehead skin temperature rather than the hypothesized decrease. Cheek temperature rose significantly more than forehead temperature. This difference between cheek and forehead temperatures could explain the subjective impression of coolness of the forehead during the sixth standard exercise of Autogenic Training.
