  • Publication number: 20060235487
    Abstract: A method for treating eating disorders comprising the steps of generating at least one confounding gastrointestinal signal and at least one satiety or hunger signal that substantially corresponds to a neuro-electrical signal that is generated in a body and produces a gastrointestinal effect in the body, sensing food intake in a subject over at least a first period of time, and transmitting the confounding gastrointestinal signal and a satiety or hunger signal to the subject if the food intake of the subject exceeds or falls below a predetermined threshold level during the first period of time.
