Hypnosis has long been known to be associated with heightened control over physical processes and researchers put it under consideration because of its usage as a therapeutic tool in many medical and psychological problems. Determination of hypnosis susceptibility level is important before prescribing any hypnotic treatment. In this study different features are introduced to classify hypnotizability levels. These features were extracted from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals which were recorded from 32 subjects during hypnosis suggestion. Based on the obtained result, a method was suggested to estimate the hypnosis susceptibility level from hypnosis EEG signals instead of using traditional clinical subjective tests.
催眠术一直以来都被认为与对身体过程的高度控制有关，研究人员考虑将其作为许多医学和心理问题的治疗工具。在开任何催眠治疗处方之前，确定催眠易感性水平很重要。在这项研究中，引入了不同的特征来对催眠能力水平进行分类。这些特征是从 32 名被试在催眠暗示期间记录的脑电图（EEG）信号中提取出来的。根据获得的结果，提出了一种从催眠 EEG 信号估计催眠易感性水平的方法，而不是使用传统的临床主观测试。
