Fredric Schiffer talks about this in relation to TMS, which is always (or almost always) used to stimulate the left prefrontal cortex, which is the happy side of the brain in most people. But what about the significant minority whose happy side is on the right and whose troubled side is on the left? For them, TMS either won't help or it will make them feel worse. Schiffer did a study about this:

The approach used by many neurofeedback clinicians is to stimulate one side of the brain while calming down the other side.
