I have often covered the "origins" story of biofeedback in class with the narrative of Miller and DiCara's work with curarized rats that turned out to be not replicable. DiCara did not help with the attempts at replication when he went to the University of Michigan to set up his lab there. He, instead, committed suicide. Miller, and none of his other graduate minions, ever replicated the M&D'C outstanding results. Does anyone know anything about Leo DiCara's suicide or the Miller replication results that are beyond the Miller "failure to replicate" article that to my knowledge never had a published reply?
Thanks to anybody. This is a good story for classes, but I need resolution. Bill Scott --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
