Hypnosis & Brain Sciences research

Each month, there are zillions of new research papers from different branches related to brain sciences coming out - cognitive and affective neuroscience, social neuroscience, cognitive anthropology, complexity science etc. in lots of different journals.

I am pleased to see some of the current neuroscience moving past the reductionist, linear paradigm and starting to embrace the complex systems paradigms - the more "holistic", non-linear, contextual, ecological, embodied, dynamical, networks based etc. conceptions.

I am positive that there are many gems of a research scattered accross these fields, that could be inspiring for fresh perspectives on different (not just) hypnotic phenomena and dynamisms, and perhaps provide some useful insights translatable to a beneficial practical use.

(...and maybe even bring some fresh air to the thorny "Hypnosis definition" related issues, for some? :) )

So let's gather those at one place, bit by bit, and see what curious insights emerge with time... feel encouraged to share what you encounter together with your related thoughts and ideas!

this is wonderful to see this group and hopefully more literature supporting the brain-mind and mind-body  interaction.....

Wow! 

I've put The Networks of the Brain on my wish list. 

I'm just going to have to live longer in order to study all of these wonderful resources! Are you familiar with a website called Lumosity? It has a lot of great brain-exercise games on it. It costs about $4 per month if you subscribe for one year. I've been doing the exercises for about 3 weeks so far, and I'm already seeing gains in my cognitive abilities.

Thanks, Robert! I liked the book too...

I can also recommend the book "The Networks of the Brain" from Olaf Sporns (http://www.amazon.com/Networks-Brain-Olaf-Sporns/dp/0262014696),

which is a great summary of the dynamical networks perspectives etc.

Jakub,

An excellent resource; thank you!

For anyone who would like a good overview of trends in neuroscience, Dr. Norman Doidges book "The Brain That Changes Itself" is a great primer.
