Classes of Multichannel EEG Microstates in Light and Deep Hypnotic Conditions.


Brain Topogr. 2007 Jun 21; [Epub ahead of print] Links

Katayama H, Gianotti LR, Isotani T, Faber PL, Sasada K, Kinoshita T, Lehmann D. The KEY Institute for Brain-Mind Research, University Hospital of Psychiatry, Lenggstrasse 31, CH-8032, Zurich, Switzerland, lgianott@key.unizh.ch.

The study assessed the brain electric mechanisms of light and deep hypnotic conditions in the framework of EEG temporal microstates. Multichannel EEG of healthy volunteers during initial resting, light hypnosis, deep hypnosis, and eventual recovery was analyzed into temporal EEG microstates of four classes. Microstates are defined by the spatial configuration of their potential distribution maps ([Symbol: see text]potential landscapes') on the head surface. Because different potential landscapes must have been generated by different active neural assemblies, it is reasonable to assume that they also incorporate different brain functions. The observed four microstate classes were very similar to the four standard microstate classes A, B, C, D [Koenig, T. et al. Neuroimage, 2002;16: 41-8] and were labeled correspondingly. We expected a progression of microstate characteristics from initial resting to light to deep hypnosis. But, all three microstate parameters (duration, occurrence/second and %time coverage) yielded values for initial resting and final recovery that were between those of the two hypnotic conditions of light and deep hypnosis. Microstates of the classes B and D showed decreased duration, occurrence/second and %time coverage in deep hypnosis compared to light hypnosis; this was contrary to microstates of classes A and C which showed increased values of all three parameters. Reviewing the available information about microstates in other conditions, the changes from resting to light hypnosis in certain respects are reminiscent of changes to meditation states, and changes to deep hypnosis of those in schizophrenic states.

Energy healing

Energy psychology and energy medicine can be lumped together under the complementary and alternative health care category that is also known as energy healing. The intention is to manipulate the body's energy flows in a way that she is a healthier balance and removes any blockages. Although this seems to be a rather new medical and psychological technique, in many ways it's based upon or influenced by ancient Eastern traditions involving chakras and energy meridians. There are several specific techniques that come under the heading of energy healing. This includes Therapeutic Touch,...

What is depression?

According to be American psychiatric Association, a major depressive disorder is diagnosed when five or more specific symptoms exist for at least two weeks. The symptoms include constant sadness, irritability, hopelessness, feeling worthless or guilty for no reason, trouble sleeping, low energy or fatigue, and significantly change. As depression is widely considered more of a mental than physical problem generally there are no medical tests such as checking a patient's blood. However, recent revelations neurology may soon reveal physiological or genetic problems that are associated with...

What is anxiety?

After looking at many definitions of anxiety, which are offered by a variety of medical and psychological authorities, I can't help but think that something's missing. Typically anxiety is to find as a feeling of apprehension, fear, or worry. But to fully understand what it is and how it may be affected by hypnosis a much bigger picture must be looked at first. The fully developed adult brain has the ability to anticipate and simulate. As perceptions or imagination or match with predictive patterns it is natural to assume that something either extremely positive or extremely negative may...
