Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to support and promote the further worldwide integration of comprehensive evidence-based research and clinical hypnotherapy with mainstream mental health, medicine, and coaching. We do so by disseminating, supporting, and conducting research, providing professional level education, advocating increased level of practitioner competency, and supporting the viability and success of clinical practitioners. Although currently over 80% of our membership is comprised of mental health practitioners, we fully recognize the role, support, involvement, and needs of those in the medical and coaching fields. This site is not intended as a source of medical or psychological advice. Tim Brunson, PhD

Mind/Brain and Entrainment



by Tim Brunson, PhD

Cognitive neuroscientists continue to seek further relationships between neural structures and behavior (Raz et al. 2006). The previous chapter discusses that neuroplasticity explains how the brain can reorganize. This occurs normally when dormant (or less used) parts of the brain take over a function of another part of the brain due to events such as a stroke. Scientists involved in researching the savant syndrome recognize that prodigious savants somehow tap these hidden reserves of the mind (Treffert, 1989; Walsh & Pascual-Leone, 2003; Evans, 2007). So it is reasonable to deduce that a brain can easily entrain since it has this dormant or hidden potential readily available.
