It is well known the effect o hypnosis on the brain.Ex.:it is used to relieve pain in some cirurgies to people that cannot take anesthesics by dentists and medical doctors.This demonstrate that hypnosis act over the neurones and their transmiters. Under hypnosis ones body can stay rigid as a stone showing that it can interfere to the muscles and their related systems,and under suggetion of a hypnitezer a person may tremble and shake under his command,etc. It is known too that under hypnosis a person may have its memory activeted in a fantastic way and a person will be able to recallect past facts that otherwise would'nt be possible. It is well known that scientists such as Charcot(France),Freud(Austria) at the end of the last century gave early studies on the subject trying to apply it to mental deseases. Well to make the long story short,I would like to know if it is the knowledge of anyone that if there has been any attempts to the use of hypnosis in the research of PD now that the studies could have the help of the computer magnet ressonance scanning, modern biology-chemistry and all the paraphernalia of the new technical apparatus to follows the reactions of persons submitted to hypnosis. +----| Joao Paulo de Carvalho |------ + | [log in to unmask] | +--------| Salvador-Bahia-Brazil |------+
