A basic question in EEG feedback training of epileptic patients is whether the decrease in seizures is specifically due to the training or to other factors. Questions may also be raised as to what EEG changes are involved. Preliminary results in five patients suggest that seizure reductions can occur with training which are not due to placebo or nonspecific effects or to changes in medication compliance. These changes occurred rapidly during EEG-contingent feedback training but not when feedback was random in relation to the EEG. Reliable changes in the EEG were also observed, but the question of which mechanism accounts for these results has yet to be answered.
癫痫患者脑电图反馈训练中的一个基本问题是，癫痫发作次数的减少究竟是特定于训练的结果，还是其他因素所致。关于涉及哪些脑电图变化的问题也可能被提出。对五名患者的初步结果表明，训练可使癫痫发作次数减少，这并非由于安慰剂效应、非特异性效应或药物依从性的改变。这些变化在脑电图条件反馈训练期间迅速出现，但当反馈与脑电图随机相关时则不会出现。脑电图中也观察到了可靠的变化，但哪种机制导致了这些结果的问题仍有待解答。
