ImpactModerate impact

Participants seem to recognize the study's potential to influence understanding of hypnosis within neuroscience.

Abstract in brief

  • This review systematically examines neuroimaging studies of hypnosis to identify common brain patterns, focusing on regions involved in cognitive control and self-awareness, such as the executive, salience, and default networks.
  • The meta-analysis reveals that hypnosis is associated with activation of the lingual gyrus, a brain area linked to visual processing and mental imagery, suggesting specific neural signatures for hypnotic states.
  • These findings enhance our understanding of the neurobiological basis of hypnosis, relating brain activity patterns to theories about top-down control and cognitive processes involved in hypnotic phenomena.]
