Hypnosis, Volume 184 in the International Review of Neurobiology series, highlights advancements in the field, featuring contributions from an international board of authors. This volume explores interesting topics, including Hierarchies of control in hypnotic responding, Predictive processing, Echoes of the self: A neurophenomenological journey into the shifting realms of selfhood in neutral hypnosis, Heterogeneity in high hypnotic responding, Functional differences between hypnotic hallucination and imagination: A neural network perspective, Hypnotic suggestibility and the neural dynamics of hypnotic responding, Updating the physiology of hypnotizability: Cerebellum and insula, The Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) in the modulation of hypnotic experience and hypnotizability, and more.
Other sections cover Experimental pain modulation via hypnosis: Neurophysiological perspectives, Hypnosis and affective neuroscience, Hypnotic suggestion in the modulation of sleep, Advances and future directions in the clinical and cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis, Symptom modeling using hypnosis: Neuroimaging and psychopathology, Clinical neuroscience of placebo and suggestion, and much more.
Jamieson, Graham: - Graham Jamieson, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of New England, Australia. He received his PhD in Psychology from the University of Queensland, where he also completed his undergraduate and master's degrees. His research draws on cognitive-affective neuroscience and experimental psychology to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying altered states of consciousness, including hypnosis, meditation, trance, and dissociation. His work employs a range of neuroimaging techniques, with a focus on EEG source localization and functional connectivity, to explore executive control, affective self-regulation, and predictive processing in these states. He is also actively involved in interdisciplinary collaborations aimed at developing novel tools for assessing consciousness in both clinical and non-clinical populations.
Pascalis, Vilfredo de: -
Vilfredo De Pascalis is a Professor of General Psychology at the Sapienza University of Rome, where he led a lab on Psychophysiology and taught Personality Psychology. His research uses brain electrophysiology and neuropsychological methods to explore neurophysiological bases of personality, individual differences, and hypnotic suggestibility. He remains active post-retirement in 2020. Since 2022, he has been an Adjunct Professor at the University of New England, Australia. He serves as an editorial consultant for the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, is a reviewer for several journals, and has held director board roles in the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences (ISSID) and International Organization of Psychophysiology (IOP).
Terhune, Devin: -
Devin B. Terhune, PhD, is a Reader in Experimental Psychology in the Department of Psychology in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, & Neuroscience at King's College London where he leads the Awareness & Modulation Lab. He completed his PhD on the cognitive neuroscience of high hypnotic suggestibility at Lund University and was previously a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London. His research draws on methods and theories from cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, and psychiatry with an aim to characterise different features of awareness, with a focus on dissociative states, and how awareness and perception can be modulated using verbal suggestion and pharmacological agents.
