      I find that to be a little patronizing though. It's like saying "Aww you guys are playing neuroscientist! How cute!" But like I said earlier, I also don't care. However, I cannot even answer your claim with the slight possibility that you're could be right, because I know this effect is causing a physiological change other than just imagining you'll feel good and then feeling good. But that's just me, I've been doing this trick for a couple days now and I've tried plenty of placebos before. I've never gotten anywhere with positive thinking. This is quite obviously different.

      And it also appears that you don't know much about the amygdala by assuming it's only associated with negative thoughts because it's responsible for conditioning the mind to pain and triggering anxiety. The amygdala communicates with multiple parts of the brain, this is a trick to use the amygdala to activate the frontal lobes to greater capacity where its relation to anxiety and fight/flight is a result of its communication with the reptilian complex.

      EDIT: The more I read about the frontal lobe popping, the more similarities I find between it and a DMT trip. Especially the part where it was described like a pleasure train driving through your brain.

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
