Hypnosis alters functional connectivity in brain networks involving parieto-occipital-temporal areas, cuneal/precuneal and occipital cortices, lingual gyri, and the occipital pole. Comparing two hypnotic states revealed depth-dependent connectivity changes in left superior temporal/supramarginal gyri, cuneus, planum temporale, and lingual gyri. Respiration rate slowed significantly during hypnosis. These findings provide insights into the neurobiology of altered consciousness.
