Abstract

The papers presented in this section all deal, rather directly, with the activity of the central nervous system. In many respects, the presentations appear to be a continuation of the search for a stable relationship between right hemisphere (RH) activity and either hypnotic susceptibility or hypnosis itself, but with a new perspective. From now on, we will not only explore left hemisphere (LH) and RH relationships, but anterior-posterior relationships as well; e.g., what cognitive changes as may occur in hypnosis may be more posteriorly located than we previously thought.
