Easily hypnotised people can hallucinate colours whenever they want to. They can even choose which colour. This research comes from
University of Hull. Psychologists gathered together two groups - one group where they considered themselves highly suggestible and another group that said they were not easily hypnotised. The groups were shown some black-and-white patterns and asked to try to see colors in them. The highly suggestible group while in hypnosis was consistently able to see colours while the second group generally failed at this task.
The psychologists were able to measure some extraordinary brain activity in the highly suggestible group. These subjects showed significant changes in the parts of their brains responsible for visual perception. Previous research has shown hypnosis can get people to see colours that aren't there, but this new research indicates that the hypnosis simply unlocks a natural ability.
What this is showing is that people who are easily suggestible can alter their brain activity at will. Lead researcher Professor Giuliana Mazzoni says "These are very talented people. They can change their perception and experience of the world."
Some people are naturally good at hypnosis - which is a skill and can be learned. You get better at it with practice. Hypnosis is totally voluntar. This research shows that you can change your perception of the world through hypnosis. This is very helpful if you are trying to change something troublesome in your life. Because hypnosis allows us to alter our perception of the world, it means we change change from being anxious and worried, bounced around by our emotions or other people, to feeling calm and in control.
