Title: Changes in cerebral hemispheric lateralization with hypnosis. Author: Frumkin LR, Ripley HS, Cox GB. Journal: Biol Psychiatry; 1978 Dec; 13(6):741-50. PubMed ID: 737261. Abstract: Cerebral hemisphere dominance was measured in 20 subjects before, during, and after hypnotic suggestion. During hypnosis, subjects demonstrated lower right ear/left hemisphere laterality scores on a dichotic listening task compared to pre- and posthypnosis periods. These results support the view that hypnosis facilitates greater participation of the right cerebral hemisphere in cognition and may partially account for several well known hypnotic effects.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
