最近发表在《国际临床与实验催眠杂志》上的一项研究报告了催眠反应的一种有趣的昼夜模式。具体来说，作者发现大量本科生样本在早晨和傍晚时的催眠反应性较高。然而，他们没有对这种发现模式做出解释。然而，这种模式与催眠反应的 theta 假设是一致的。需要进一步检查大脑振荡与催眠反应之间的关联，以确定特定振荡（例如 theta）是否（1）实际上促进对某些催眠建议的反应，（2）仅反映催眠反应，或（3）反映本身在催眠反应中发挥因果作用的另一个因素。
A recent study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis reported an interesting diurnal pattern of hypnotic responsivity; specifically, the authors found higher hypnotic responsiveness in a large sample of undergraduates in the morning and early evening. However, they did not have an explanation for this pattern of findings. This pattern is consistent, however, with the theta hypothesis of hypnotic responsivity. Further examination of the associations between brain oscillations and response to hypnosis is needed to determine if specific oscillations such as theta (1) actually facilitate response to some hypnotic suggestions, (2) merely reflect hypnotic responding, or (3) reflect another factor that itself plays a causal role in response to hypnosis.
