The present chapter is concerned with sensory suggestibility (SS), its measurement, its relation to other variables like psychological traits, states, and perceptual or autonomic functions, and its relations to the effects of placebos and drugs, relations which might help to elucidate the generality of the concept and possible underlying biological principles.
