Hypnosis is widely used in pain management. This technique involves the induction of a hypnotic trance, which is a state of consciousness distinct from normal waking state (critical consciousness). In this altered state, individuals become more receptive to the hypnotherapist's suggestions, which can influence their perception, especially of pain. However, hypnotic trance is a fluctuating state...

Flow is a mental state of deep focus and immersion, associated with enhanced productivity, creativity, and well-being. While its benefits are well-documented, research on its neural basis remains emerging. EEG-based systems offer a practical approach to flow detection due to their simplicity and accessibility. Recent advancements in commercial EEG devices provide new opportunities for real-life...

The benefits of meditation are increasingly recognized, and some forms are now used for clinical intervention. However, the electrophysiological correlates of meditative states are not yet well understood, and the limited predictive accuracy of known markers of meditation suggest that not all information relevant to meditation has been captured by previous work.Here, we convert...

Through source estimation, high-density electroencephalogram (EEG) signals at scalp level can be converted into signals at cerebral cortex level, which helps to measure cortical activity during anesthesia induced changes in consciousness level to explore the mechanism. In this research, the high-density EEG of propofol-induced consciousness states alterations in 20 healthy adults were converted...

The aim of the study was to investigate differences in cortical networks based on the state of consciousness. Five subjects performed a serial-awakening paradigm with electroencephalography (EEG) recordings. We considered four states of consciousness: (1) non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep with no conscious experience, (2) NREM sleep with conscious experience, (3) rapid eye movement (REM)...

Uncovering the physiological correlates of dreams is one of the most ambitious aim of multidisciplinary neuroscientific research. Here we investigated Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) dynamics associated with a dream recall, with a particular focus on the complexity assessment on cardiovascular control. We recorded electrocardiogram and arterial blood pressure signals from eight healthy subjects...

Previous research has supported the use of virtual reality (VR) to decrease stress, anxiety, perceptions of pain, and increase positive affect. However, the effect of VR on blood pressure (BP) and autonomic function in healthy populations have not been explored. This study quantifies the effect of instructed meditation augmented by a virtual environment (VE) on BP and heart rate variability...

How brain dynamics change across conscious states, including reliable signatures of the transitions between unconsciousness and consciousness, remains unclear. In this work, we addressed the changes in functional brain networks during self-titrated midazolam sedation using high-density electroencephalography (EEG) in ten subjects. We were particularly interested in the underlying network...

The Default Mode Network (DMN) is a brain resting-state network that is closely linked to consciousness and neuropsychiatric disorders. The DMN is routinely identified with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or positron emission tomography (PET). However, both of these methods impose restrictions on the groups of patients that can be examined. We show that the DMN can also be...

Heart rate variability analysis is fast gaining acceptance as a potential non-invasive means of autonomic nervous system assessment in research as well as clinical domains. In this study, a new nonlinear analysis method is used to detect the degree of nonlinearity and stochastic nature of heart rate variability signals during two forms of meditation (Chi and Kundalini). The data obtained from...

Humans experience the self as localized within their body. This aspect of bodily self-consciousness can be experimentally manipulated by exposing individuals to conflicting multisensory input, or can be abnormal following focal brain injury. Recent technological developments helped to unravel some of the mechanisms underlying multisensory integration and self-location, but the neural...

In a partial report paradigm, subjects observe during a brief presentation a cluttered field and after some time - typically ranging from 100 ms to a second - are asked to report a subset of the presented elements. A vast buffer of information is transiently available to be broadcasted which, if not retrieved in time, fades rapidly without reaching consciousness. An interesting feature of this...

Cognitive tasks using motor imagery have been used for generating and controlling EEG activity in most brain-computer interface (BCI). Nevertheless, during the performance of a particular mental task, different factors such as concentration, attention, level of consciousness and the difficulty of the task, may be affecting the changes in the EEG activity. Accordingly, training the subject to...
