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.
