6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that human beings can be induced into a state of hypnosis?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and neurocognitive reviews confirm that human beings can be reliably induced into states of hypnosis, which reliably alter perception, neural activity, and psychological functioning.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently treat hypnosis as a well-documented psychological and neurobiological phenomenon, providing empirical evidence from cognitive neuroscience and clinical trials confirming that individuals can be successfully induced into a hypnotic state.
