Shared cognitive mechanisms of hypnotizability with executive functioning and information salience

Abstract In recent years, evidence linked hypnotizability to the executive control and information salience networks, brain structures that play a role in cognitive conflict resolution and perseveration (insisting on applying a previously learned logical rule on a new set). Despite the growing body...
