So far, many people are skeptical about hypnotherapy as well as the existence of hypnosis. The latest study by scientist William McGowan of the University of Hull's Department of Psychology has shown that hypnosis affects brain activity and actually has a hypnotic state.
Mr. McGowan used imaging technology of brain activity to study hypnosis in order to prove that the activity of the human brain in hypnosis is caused by hypnosis. He asked the participants to perform some tasks in a trance state.
Based on the reaction of the test participants to the requirement to perform the task, McGowan selected 10 people who are most vulnerable and 7 who are not vulnerable.
People who are not vulnerable have no reaction to the instruction heard during the hypnosis process but only in a relaxed state.
Thanks to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, Mr. McGowan concludes that only people who are easily affected by hypnosis will have a change in the activity of the previous brain, whereas those who are not easily affected The activity of the brain region also does not change.
