Neural foundations of hypnotic analgesia and hypnotic deafness, and blindness: Experi-mental evaluation of a neural dissociation model of hypnosis with high and low suggestible subjects.

催眠状态和催眠诱导的止痛、耳聋和失明的神经基础在很大程度上是未知的。在前人研究的基础上，该项目研究了一种新的催眠神经分离模型，该模型假设这些催眠状态和感觉调制代表大脑分层组织的处理结构的神经激活和通信交换被调制和相互分离的特定状态。这些调制和解离将通过主观性参数和与事件相关的脑电位和脑活动的快慢振荡以及动态时间序列、神经源建模和相干分析的复杂数学方法来研究。注意力分散和模拟催眠状态将作为控制条件。

The neural basis of hypnotic states and hypnotically induced analgesia, deafness, and blind-ness is largely unknown. Based on previous studies, the project investigates a new neural dissociation model of hypnosis that postulates these hypnotic states and sensory modula-tions to represent specific states where the neural activation and communicative exchange of hierarchically organized processing structures of the brain are modulated and dissociated from each other. These modulations and dissociations will be investigated by means of sub-jective parameters and event-related electrical brain potentials and fast and slow oscillations of brain activities and complex mathematical methods for dynamic time series, neural source modeling and coherences analysis. Distraction of attention and simulation of the hypnotic state will serve as control conditions.
