RODRIGUEZ SANCHEZ, Pedro Manuel  and  RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, María. Very deep, collective and simultaneous hypnosis model for the study of cognitive functions. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.6, pp.726-735. ISSN 1029-3019.

An experimental-analytic study which included second year students from the Bachellor in Nursery career from the Medical University in Gramma was carried out during 2009. They were selected by means of the simple random method, for which a model of very deep, grupal and simultaneous hypnosis was created, in order to control the hypnotic phenomena in stages and to study memory. The 10 words test as indicator and the signs test for the statistical validation of the findings were used. The results of the memorization and their evocation in deep hypnosis during the habitual wakefulness were better than those of the memorization in recalled wakefulness and vice versa. The application of the physiologic paradigm for the diagnosis of the consciousness state was useful to define the very deep stage, during which there was not synchronization of the alpha rhythm due to the opening of the eyes in that consciousness state. The alpha and beta rhythms became typical of the hypnotic state.

Keywords : hypnosis; memory; markers of the consciousness state; hypnotic phenomena; electroencephalogram; vegetative function; cognitive function.
