Recent developments in the philosophical and neurobiological studies of consciousness provide promising frameworks to investigate the neurobiology of hypnosis. A model of consciousness phenomenology is described to demonstrate that the experiential dimensions characterizing hypnosis (relaxation and mental ease, absorption, orientation and monitoring, and self-agency) reflect basic phenomenal properties of consciousness. Changes in relaxation-mental ease and absorption, produced by standard hypnotic procedures, are further associated with changes in brain activity within structures critically involved in the basic representation of the body-self and the regulation of states of consciousness. The combination of experiential and modern brain imaging methods offers a unique perspective on hypnotic phenomena and provides new observations consistent with the proposition that hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness.
意识的哲学和神经生物学研究的最新进展为研究催眠的神经生物学提供了有前景的框架。本文描述了一种意识现象学模型，以证明表征催眠的体验维度（放松与心理轻松、专注、定向与监控以及自我能动性）反映了意识的基本现象属性。标准催眠程序所产生的放松-心理轻松和专注方面的变化，进一步与身体自我基本表征及意识状态调节所关键涉及的脑结构内的脑活动变化相关联。体验性方法与现代脑成像方法的结合为催眠现象提供了独特视角，并提供了与催眠是一种意识改变状态这一命题相符的新观察结果。
