Though many people associate hypnotism with second-rate magicians,
the practice is in fact supported by a large number of clinicians and
neuroscientists who see it as a powerful tool to hack the minds of
patients suffering from psychological and psychosomatic disorders.
Yet in order to get the best results out of this strange yet apparently
effective trick, it’s vital to know exactly how it effects the brain,
which is why a team of researchers from Stanford University has
conducted a new study looking at which brain regions are most altered by
hypnosis, publishing their findings in the journal Cerebral Cortex.
