“…This interpretation can help in understanding the underlaying mechanisms of hypnotherapy in terms of modulation of spontaneous visual absorption experiences. It is of great importance to mention here, that, dissociation together with absorption and suggestibility, conforms to what is hypnosis [150,151]. However, it is worth noting that other studies have reported contradictory findings.…”

This comprehensive review delves into the cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis and variations in hypnotizability by examining research employing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and electroencephalography (EEG) methods. Key focus areas include functional brain imaging correlations in hypnosis, EEG band oscillations as indicators of hypnotic states, alterations in EEG functional connectivity during hypnosis and wakefulness, drawing critical conclusions, and suggesting future research directions. The reviewed functional connectivity findings support the notion that disruptions in the available integration between different components of the executive control network during hypnosis may correspond to altered subjective appraisals of the agency during the hypnotic response, as per dissociated and cold control theories of hypnosis. A promising exploration avenue involves investigating how frontal lobes’ neurochemical and aperiodic components of the EEG activity at waking-rest are linked to individual differences in hypnotizability. Future studies investigating the effects of hypnosis on brain function should prioritize examining distinctive activation patterns across various neural networks.

“…David Acunzo, Ph.D.-a cognitive neuroscientist with a background in telecommunications engineering-eagerly accepted our formidable challenge of digesting and exploring these selected papers for links or insights among their results and conclusions, as well as potential connections or contradictions to the latest conventional thinking in neuroscience. His qualifications are well suited to this task and involve research on visual perception, attention, and suggestibility, along with an interest in anomalous experiences and experimental parapsychology (e.g., Acunzo et al, 2013Acunzo et al, , 2019Acunzo et al, , 2020Acunzo et al, , 2022Acunzo & Terhune, 2021). The eventual goal is to graduate from superficial or descriptive labels for certain anomalous phenomena to monikers representing suspected or established causal mechanisms.…”
