Researchers from the prestigious University of Zurich have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how hypnosis affects the human brain. The results of their revolutionary work, published in the authoritative journal Scientific Reports, may change our understanding of human consciousness capabilities.
Historical background: The first scientific studies of hypnosis began in the 18th century with Franz Mesmer's work, but only modern technologies have allowed detailed study of this phenomenon.
During the experiment, scientists used advanced neuroimaging methods, including functional magnetic resonance imaging. Special attention was paid to two levels of hypnotic state: moderate relaxation and the deep Esdaile state, named after Scottish surgeon James Esdaile, who first used hypnosis for anesthesia during surgeries in the 1840s.
Key research findings:
Changes in brain activity were recorded in areas responsible for attention and body perception
Increased concentration of alpha and theta rhythms was discovered
Influence on brain areas associated with space and time perception was confirmed
According to experts, these discoveries could revolutionize the approach to treating various diseases, including chronic pain and anxiety disorders. Statistics show that about 15% of people are highly hypnotizable, meaning they are easily susceptible to hypnotic influence.
