“…Research that aims to elucidate the mechanisms and characteristics of hypnosis and suggestion is typically referred to as intrinsic research (Reyher, 1962). By contrast, hypnosis is also often used to induce and modulate specific cognitive and perceptual states in order to test predictions regarding the features of these phenomena (instrumental research).…”

Hypnosis is a unique form of top-down regulation in which verbal suggestions are capable of eliciting pronounced changes in a multitude of psychological phenomena. Hypnotic suggestion has been widely used both as a technique for studying basic science questions regarding human consciousness but also as a method for targeting a range of symptoms within a therapeutic context. Here we provide a synthesis of current knowledge regarding the characteristics and neurocognitive mechanisms of hypnosis. We review evidence from cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychopathology, and clinical psychology regarding the utility of hypnosis as an experimental method for modulating consciousness, as a model for studying healthy and pathological cognition, and as a therapeutic vehicle. We also highlight the relationships between hypnosis and other psychological phenomena, including the broader domain of suggestion and suggestibility and conclude by identifying the most salient challenges confronting the nascent cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis and outlining future directions for research on hypnosis and suggestion.

“…Nowadays, even researchers in areas "neighboring" hypnosis (e.g., cognitive neuroscience) recognize the importance of controlling subjects for hypnotizability, and they use the HGSHS:A as a prescreening device (Oakley, 2006). This is a so-called "extrinsic" use of hypnosis (Reyher, 1962).…”

“…For instance, in the 1960's, Reyher and colleagues used posthypnotic suggestions to successfully model pathological symptoms, including repression and impulse inhibition (Burns & Reyher, 1976;Perkins & Reyher, 1971;Reyher, 1961Reyher, , 1962Reyher, , 1969Reyher & Basch, 1970). In recent years, hypnosis has been used to model conversion hysteria (Halligan, Bass, & Wade, 2000), auditory hallucinations (Woody & Szechtman, 2000), functional amnesia (Barnier, 2002;Barnier & McConkey, 1999;Barnier, McConkey, & Wright, 2004;Cox & Barnier, 2003), and functional blindness (Blum, 1975;Bryant & McConkey, 1989a, 1989b.…”
