Traditional and alert hypnotic phenomena: development through anteriorization.
Modern research techniques show that hypnotic induction involves behavioral and cognitive inhibition as components of many hypnotic phenomena. One standard laboratory technique for measuring cognitive inhibition is the Go/NoGo procedure. The procedure moves the average, or centroid, of electroencephalography signals toward the frontal, or anterior, part of the brain. This process, called anteriorization, produces a shift in the emotional and cognitive signals from the anterior cingulate cortex. This has implications for both the scientific understanding and clinical use of hypnosis.
