The HypnoScience Project

The multimodal investigation of two distinct hypnotic states using fMRI, MRS, EEG

How does hypnosis affect the brain on a neurological level? What happens in real-time inside the brain of a person in hypnosis? In this compelling one-hour presentation, Hansruedi unveils the scientific breakthroughs achieved through three pioneering studies using fMRI, EEG, and MRS to measure hypnosis’s neurological and biochemical effects.

Conducted in collaboration with the University of Zurich, these studies have provided hard evidence that hypnosis is a distinct and measurable state with profound effects on brain function, cognition, and perception.

✔ fMRI Study: Using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, researchers mapped the brain’s activity in hypnosis.

✔ EEG Study: Electroencephalography (EEG) recorded real-time brainwave activity.

✔ MRS Study: Pioneering Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) analysed neurotransmitter levels. It revealed changes in neurochemistry, such as altered glutamate and GABA levels.

Challenges & Impact
Overcoming scientific scepticism, methodology complexities, and peer-review standards was crucial in ensuring credibility. These findings support hypnosis as a distinct state, paving the way for broader acceptance in medicine, psychology, and neuroscience.

This session is a must for professionals seeking scientific validation of hypnosis and its future applications in clinical and therapeutic settings.

President OMNI Hypnosis International, Best-Selling Author of 6 books, and Founder of the internationally acclaimed HypnoScience Project with the University of Zurich. As the successor of the famous Gerald F. Kein (Dave Elman's premiere student), Hansruedi has trained over 2,500 students himself and established OMNI Hypnosis in over 20 countries. OMNIs trademark is the "Regression to Cause & Fix it" approach, which allows it to work with any mental or physical challenge.
