Abstract
The physiological mechanisms underlying forehead muscle biofeedback for stress reduction are not well understood. A common hypothesis considers the frontales to be "key muscles" uniquely indexing the degree of tension present in the general musculature. We tested this hypothesis under conditions ranging from relaxation to maximum physical effort. The hypothesis was not supported. Changes in forehead muscle activity were limited primarily to reflecting changes in head and neck muscle tension.Entities:
