The eyes have it: Hypnotic state DOES exist, say researchers

The eyes have it: Hypnotic state DOES exist, say researchers | Mail Online: "Debate has raged for years among psychologists about whether the hypnotic state really exists.

Doubters have argued that when a person is ‘hypnotised’, they are actually fully conscious, but are seeing certain mental imagery because the hypnotist has tricked their mind.

However, researchers from the Universities of Turku and Aalto in Finland and Sweden’s University of Skövde, have found evidence for the hypnotic state by studying a volunteer’s glazed staring eyes."
