Hypnosis and Modern Frontal-Lobe Concepts – A Sketch for a Review and an Invitation to One Particularly Promising Field
Amir Muzur
Sažetak
The present paper intends to briefly review the most important concepts of the modern neuropsychology of the frontal
lobes, and to relate these findings to the phenomenology usually encountered in hypnosis research and practice. The frontal
lobes have been studied very intensively during the last several years and some of the results, including the syndromes described
in frontal-lobe lesions and psychiatric patients, demonstrate striking similarity with hypnotic phenomena. Based
on these similarities, an alternative neuropsychophysiological definition of hypnosis/suggestion is proposed, viewing hypnosis/
suggestion as the process of external manipulation with frontal-lobe functions with consequent effects upon the entire
brain potential of the subject.
