NCT01135810 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 102

Last updated 2013-12-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hypnotic trance and mindfulness meditation have both been shown to have benefits for physical health. The current study seeks to determine if there are distinct patterns of brain activity that correlate with hypnotic trance, mindfulness meditation or both, and to relate these patterns to measurable markers of physical well-being. Precise neuroimaging of heightened attentional states will guide future researchers and practitioners toward more effective techniques of mind/body control.
