Abstract
In the last few years there have been more active attempts at studying the neurophysiological mechanisms of consciousness and, in particular, alternative states of consciousness that are formed under the conditions of hypnosis, self-hypnosis and mental relaxation (Grawford et al., 1989; Lebedeva, Dobronravova, 1990; Sabourin et al., 1990; Bundzen, Uneståhl, 1994). It’s progress is determined not only by the level of the development of modern neuro-science, but also by the problems that the practice brings.
