Other sections cover Experimental pain modulation via hypnosis: Neurophysiological perspectives, Hypnosis and affective neuroscience, Hypnotic suggestion in the modulation of sleep, Advances and future directions in the clinical and cognitive neuroscience of hypnosis, Symptom modeling using hypnosis: Neuroimaging and psychopathology, Clinical neuroscience of placebo and suggestion, and much more.Brief description:
Devin B. Terhune, PhD, is a Reader in Experimental Psychology in the Department of Psychology in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, & Neuroscience at King's College London where he leads the Awareness & Modulation Lab. He completed his PhD on the cognitive neuroscience of high hypnotic suggestibility at Lund University and was previously a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London. His research draws on methods and theories from cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, and psychiatry with an aim to characterise different features of awareness, with a focus on dissociative states, and how awareness and perception can be modulated using verbal suggestion and pharmacological agents.
