Neural correlates of hypnosis
How the brain attributes agency to post-hypnotic suggestions, explicit instructions, and free choices
Neuroscience
Agency is the ability to control our actions and the feeling of being in charge of them. The sense of agency is altered when we make decision based on free will, explicit instructions, or hypnotic suggestions. In this study, we used EEG/ERP of a modified go/no-go task to compare brain activities associated with different sources of actions, the focus being how hypnosis changes the brain dynamics.
