• How Does Hypnosis Work? A Neuroscience-Based Guide

  

  Explore the neuroscience of hypnosis and how it reshapes brain activity. Discover how brainwave shifts, altered connectivity, and reduced cognitive resistance create a powerful therapeutic state. Backed by fMRI and EEG research, hypnosis is more than deep relaxation—it’s a measurable, brain-based process that enhances suggestibility, emotional regulation, and mind-body healing.

• The Science of Hypnosis – fMRI & EEG Studies

  

  Recent brain imaging studies using fMRI and EEG confirm that hypnosis creates measurable changes in brain function. These include reduced cognitive control, enhanced mind-body communication, and decreased self-criticism. Such changes validate hypnosis as a distinct brain state—beyond simple relaxation or placebo—and explain its effectiveness in pain relief, behavioral change, and emotional healing.
