Bilateral EEG measures were obtained on 16 high hypnotizable Ss (scores of greater than 8 on the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A, Shor & E. Orne, 1962), while performing hemisphere-specific tasks during hypnosis and a no-hypnosis control condition. Conditions and tasks were presented in counterbalanced order, and Ss served as their own controls. The data call into question the right hemisphere activation interpretation of lateralized brain function during hypnosis; rather, the data suggest a lack of task appropriate activity during hypnosis. The failure to attend to baseline activity measurements and the use of ratios to evaluate interhemispheric lateralization may contribute to potential misinterpretations of data. It is critical that activity changes of the separate hemispheres be taken into account in the interpretative process.
对16名高催眠易感性的受试者（在哈佛群体催眠易感性量表A版，Shor和E. Orne，1962年中得分大于8）进行了双侧脑电图测量，测量是在催眠期间和非催眠对照条件下进行半球特异性任务时进行的。条件和任务以平衡的顺序呈现，受试者作为自己的对照。这些数据对催眠期间大脑功能侧化的右半球激活解释提出了质疑；相反，数据表明催眠期间缺乏与任务相适应的活动。未能关注基线活动测量以及使用比率来评估半球间侧化可能导致对数据的潜在误解。在解释过程中考虑各个半球的活动变化至关重要。
