“…The fields of neuropsychology and behavioral neurology often feature deficits that are amenable to top-down influences ( Weiskrantz, 1986 ; Cowey, 2010 ; Overgaard, 2011 ) at different levels ( Marshall and Halligan, 1995 ; Fink et al, 1996 ). Experimental accounts of hypnosis show how hypnotic suggestions can induce reversible neuropsychological conditions – a form of behavioral analog to TMS (cf., Raz and Wolfson, 2010 ). One example is visuospatial hemineglect, where hypnotic suggestions to favor one visual hemifield over the other lead to significant decreases in visual performance on the neglected side and neglect-like symptoms ( Oakley and Halligan, 2009 , see supplementary material; Raz, 2004 ; Priftis et al, 2011 ).…”
