This study explores neurochemical changes in the brain during hypnosis, targeting the parieto-occipital (PO) and posterior superior temporal gyrus (pSTG) regions using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). We examined 52 healthy, hypnosis experienced participants to investigate how two different hypnotic states of varying depth impacted brain neurochemistry in comparison to each other and to their respective non-hypnagogic control conditions. Alongside neurochemical assessments, we recorded respiration and heart rate variability (HRV) to further explore possible associations between physiological correlates of hypnotic depth.

The purpose of the article is, based on a comparative legal study of the general and distinctive features of the norms of criminal and criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine, Georgia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, regarding the possible participation of a psychotherapist in conducting procedural actions aimed at collecting evidence for the crime committed, determine the feasibility and admissibility of the participation of a hypnologist to conduct hypnosis sessions with participants in criminal proceedings. The task is based on an analysis of the norms of criminal and criminal procedural legislation of a number of European countries, as well as taking into account the specifics of hypnotherapy as a branch of psychotherapy, the limitations of legal norms regarding psychotherapists (hypnologists) in the exercise of their professional duties and in attracting them for judicial - investigative actions to collect evidence, the unsettled nature of these legal positions - to outline ways to improve the norms of medical and legal legislation of European countries in this area. It has been established that the problem of realizing the right of the subject to full legal and medical protection during a forensic medical examination, as well as the implementation of the rights and obligations of an expert psychotherapist during the latter, is the lack of clear implementation in the criminal procedural norms of the states of the participation of a hypnologist during a forensic examination, investigative actions that are aimed at collecting evidence for a crime.

Article Synopsis
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly used in non-operating room anesthesia (NORA), requiring anesthesia providers to adapt and understand the settings beyond traditional operating rooms.
  • The use of hypnosis in medical practices, especially for minimally invasive procedures, has been shown to significantly reduce patient discomfort and reliance on pain medication.
  • A case study of a woman in her 70s undergoing a thyroid nodule treatment with hypnosis demonstrated high patient satisfaction, effective pain management, and an impressive reduction in nodule size, reaffirming the benefits of hypnosis in NORA settings.

There is ample evidence to suggest that posing leading questions is dangerous, in that it may elicit compliant responses that are not necessarily accurate. Further, suggestive questioning is considered to possibly result in the development of false memories, implied in the suggestion. [Crombag, H.
