In the last decade, functional brain imaging techniques ranging from fMRI to PET to EEG have added to understanding the mechanisms involved in cognitive, affective, and motoric processes. More recently, as demonstrated by papers in a variety of neuroscience journals, the hypnotic experience and its modulation of critical human processes such as pain have added hypnotic procedures to the experimental techniques available for the neuroscience community. For this interplay to be manifested, it is critical that readers understand brain imaging procedures and the types of questions they can and cannot answer. In this spirit, the present article is an overview of the major brain imaging techniques available to a researcher interested in hypnosis.
在过去十年中，从功能磁共振成像（fMRI）到正电子发射断层扫描（PET）再到脑电图（EEG）等功能性脑成像技术，增进了我们对认知、情感和运动过程所涉及机制的理解。最近，正如各种神经科学期刊上的论文所表明的那样，催眠体验及其对疼痛等关键人类过程的调节，为神经科学界可用的实验技术增添了催眠程序。为了使这种相互作用得以体现，至关重要的是读者要了解脑成像程序以及它们能够和无法回答的问题类型。本着这种精神，本文概述了对催眠感兴趣的研究人员可用的主要脑成像技术。
