Abstract

Telemedicin is used more and more in health care. To be efficient, several aspects that treatments depend on, such as client – therapist relation, have to be applied in a virtual context. As it appears our brain can be very easily fooled. Step by step basic principles of the brain, such as feedback and feedforward mechanisms, general pattern generators, integration of cortico-lymbic loops and consequences for usefulness of Telemedicin will be discussed. The overall conclusion is that the human brain is very well suited for treatment through Telemedicin.
