Hypnotic overcame the Conflict on the Brain

Through results scan, hypnotic overcame the cognitive conflict was seen from reducing the activity of the visual and anterior area cingulate cortex.

Hypnotic could become the warm discussions material lately. From the presentation of entertainment through television to the activity that was more serious like the seminar and the training in various places.

The hypnotic attraction was indeed seen amazing. Imagine, someone who was hypnotised was prepared to do anything without being realised by him. Hypnotic could influence thoughts of the other person to do something was based on the perception that was different.

But how hypnotic could influence thoughts someone? Lately, the scientific research about hypnotic began to be carried out. His aim knew the process that influenced the memory and the perception of humankind.

To see his influence, the researchers monitored the activity of the brain to the person who was hypnotised.His method by seeing the hypnotic influence in the brain to overcome the cognitive conflict. One of the cognitive processes that happened on the brain was the introduction something was based on information and knowledge that were owned by humankind.

Could be said as the process of decision making.One of the forms of the cognitive conflict that was used in this research was the introduction to the colour and words.Someone was asked to mention the colour of ink that was used to print the letter in a letter, but the letter composition was significant words the other colour.

For example words ’blue’ was written with coloured ink red. Usually the person would the difficulty of describing the colour as red because simultaneously he tried to read words ’blue’.
This one of the forms of the cognitive conflict that happened on the brain.

Amir Raz and his colleague in Weill Medical College, Cornell University, depicted that hypnotic could be used to reduce the occurrence of this conflict. For this need, was used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a set of electrode that was installed in the head to monitor the activity of the brain during the subject interpreting the colour.

The researchers also tried to give the subject of the convincing further suggestion the person who was hypnotised so that more the focus to see the colour than read words. Someone that under the strong hypnotic influence evidently could name the colour exactly and faster than that was given by the hypnotic influence light.

Results scan showed that hypnotic will reduce the activity to the visual area, the brain part that processed the visual and anterior stimulus cingulate cortex (ACC), the part that was involved in decision making. This situation showed that attention someone more the focus.So as to be able to be concluded that the suggestion that was given through hypnotic could influence the cognitive control by adapting the activity in the two brain parts.

This method was used by many people. For example Kevin McBride, that practised with hypnotic help when preparing the struggle against Mike Tyson. Apart from other reasons, finally the neck of the concrete succeeded in being broken by him. (Budi Iswara-The source: Sciam.com)
