A major challenge in cognitive neuroscience is understanding how the spatiotemporal dynamics of neural activity of the cerebral cortex supports the processing of information about external stimuli and its use in forming accurate perceptual decisions. In particular, it is unclear how activity distributed across cortical areas and frequency bands encodes information synergistically or redundantly, and how these emergent properties of interactions across areas relate to perception. Here, we aim to measure synergy and redundancy during an audiovisual task at the mesoscale level in auditory, visual

Hypnosis is a natural psychophysiological state of consciousness characterized by selective attention and elevated responsiveness to suggestions aimed at modifying perception and behavior. Induction of hypnosis typically leads to phenomenological changes, including feeling of mental absorption, dissociation, and alterations of agentivity. In investigating associated brain mechanisms, researchers have focused primarily on perceptual-cognitive suggestions. Yet, ideo-motor responses to suggestions, like limb rigidity, provide a relevant opportunity to examine behavioral responses dissociated from
