Hypnosis is the art of planting thoughts into other people's minds. Hypnotists are also known for their work as mesmerists.
Hypnosis can be divided into several categories, depending on the kind of inductions the hypnotist uses to do his or her job.
Jon Finch, for example , often , uses his hypnosis in order to know thoughts, for entertainment.
The hypnotist's skills comprise psychic suggestion, ideomotor observation, and regression, and imagination.
Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness as well as an increased capacity to respond to suggestion. It could also refer to an art, skill or the act of provoking hypnosis.
Theories that explain what happens during hypnosis fall into two categories. The theories of altered state view that hypnosis is an altered mental state or trance, marked by a level of awareness that is different from the normal conscious state. Contrary to this, nonstate theories see hypnosis as a form of imaginative playfulness.
The most common
hypnosis
is the acquisition of goals using suggestion, but other forms are often included.
During hypnosis, a person is believed to have increased concentration and focus. Attention is narrowed down to the subject at hand and the person who is hypnotized seems to appear to be in trance or sleep, with an increased capacity to respond to suggestions. A person might suffer from partial amnesia that allows them to 'forget' certain things, or to disconnect with former or present memories. The theory is that they exhibit an increased response to suggestions, which could explain why the person might perform actions that aren't in line with their usual behavior patterns.
Certain experts believe that hypnotic susceptibility is a result of personality traits. Highly hypnotizable people with psychotic, narcissistic, or Machiavellian personality characteristics may feel the hypnotic experience to be more like being controlled by another person instead of being controlled. People who have an altruistic personality type will likely remember and take in ideas more easily and respond to their suggestions with confidence, without fearing for their safety.
Theories that describe the hypnotized state explain it in various ways as a state of intense arousal and attentional focusing and fluctuations in brain function, levels of consciousness or dissociation.
In pop culture, the word "hypnosis" often brings to thoughts stereotypical depictions of stage hypnosis that involve spectacle-like transformations from an awake state into the state of trance, typically marked with the subject's arm dropping hypnotically to their side, implying that they're drunk or sleepy and then a demand that they perform some action. Stage hypnosis is usually done by an entertainer playing the role of the hypnotist. The person's consent is demonstrated by placing them in an euphoria state in which they will accept and follow suggestions given to them.
"Hypnosis" is a term that refers to "hypnosis" can be used to describe non-state phenomenon. There has been some argument that the effects that are observed in hypnotic inductions are simply instances of classical conditioning and responses learned through prior experiences using the state of hypnosis. But, it is widely agreed upon within the field that when hypnosis is artificially produced to create states that are highly suggestible (known as 'trance logic') there is high levels of logical, linguistic and cognitive functioning that operates normally even when it appears to be extremely focused. This paradoxical effect has been theorized to be the result of two cooperating processes working in opposing ways: one getting more focused, while the other one becoming less focused. The hypnotic subject has a diminished concentration, and simultaneously it is able to focus on the issues that are relevant to the suggestion made by the hypnotist.
There are a variety of theories regarding the actual process that takes place within the brain when a person is hypnotized, but there is some consensus that it's an amalgamation of a concentrated concentration and a state of altered consciousness.

The majority of people who experience hypnosis will have focus restricted to the part of the brain in which the voice of the hypnotist coming from. This leads to a heightened the processes of attention, shutting out all other sensory information. People who are hypnotized can concentrate on the recommended behaviour, but they are able to carry out actions that are not in line with their normal behavior patterns. The intense concentration causes an altered state in the brain.
