Brain scans show how hypnosis can paralyze a limb
The Associated Press
How can a hypnotist paralyze your hand just with words? By making a part of your
brain butt in on the process that normally makes your hand move, a study says.
So the brain region that's ready to move your hand ignores its usual inputs and
listens to this interloper, which says, "Don't even bother," the research
concluded.
It's "a kind of reconnection between different brain regions," said Yann Cojan,
a researcher at the University of Geneva in Switzerland.
He's an author of the study in Thursday's issue of the journal Neuron. It used
brain scans to show what happened when 12 volunteers tried to move a hand that
had been paralyzed by hypnosis.
