Researchers from the University of Turku in Finland and the University of Skövde in Sweden found that under hypnosis, individual parts of the brain operated more independently than they do during a normal waking state. Their single-person study, which was published in the journal Neuroscience of Consciousness and summarized in Neuroscience News, adds to the debate about whether and how neural processing varies when in hypnosis.  You can read the Neuroscience News study here and the study itself here.
