Batty, M.J., Bonnington, S., Tang, B., Hawken, M.B, & Gruzelier, J.H. (2006). Relaxation strategies and enhancement of hypnotic susceptibility: EEG neurofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation and self-hypnosis. Brain Research Bulletin, 71 (1-3),83-90. This is a recent study which revisited earlier research done by Perry London, Ian Wickramasekera I, and others who have found it possible to temporarily increase hypnotic susceptibility (hypnotic ability) using relaxation skills training and biofeedback training. The authors predicted that an EEG based biofeedback procedure using theta frequency training would increase hypnotic susceptibility higher than two other relaxation skills ...
