A groundbreaking Stanford Study lead by Dr. David Spiegel has revealed what hypnotists have long known about brain activity whilst under a hypnotic trance. That is: some parts of the brain function differently under hypnosis than during normal consciousness. In essence, hypnosis indeed alters brain patterns and activity. These findings might help explain the intense absorption, lack of self-consciousness and suggestibility that characterize the hypnotic state.

"David Keirsey schreibt in seinem Grundlagenwerk „Versteh mich bitte", der größte Unterschied in den Temperamenten und damit Persönlichkeiten liege nicht zwischen intro- und extrovertiert, sondern zwischen intuitiv und sensorisch. Intuitiv wird bei Keirsey mit dem Buchstaben N symbolisiert, sensorisch mit S. Und ich bin geneigt, Keirsey darin zu folgen. N-Typen sind nun in geringerer Zahl vertreten; Keisey spricht von 25%. Mich begleitete das Gefühl, irgendwie anders zu sein bis zur Oberstufe, als ich plötzlich Gleichgesinnte traf. Heute weiß ich: Das waren andere Rationalisten und Idealisten, also andere N´s (meinen eigenen Typentest könnt ihr diese Woche bei Facebook downloaden). Ich bin ein flexibler N-Typ, leichte Präferenz zum NT-Architekten (und damit zu den Temperameten von C.G. Jung, Keirsey und Mark Zuckerberg), aber auch NF-Eigenschaften (der „Psychologe"). Mich interessieren Systeme und Zusammenhänge, aber noch viel mehr der Mensch an sich. Das frühe Gefühl, anders zu sein, ist typisch für Rationalisten und Idealisten. Im Internet sind sie allerdings umgeben von Ähnlichdenkern, denn Internetaktivität ist die Domäne der NTs und NFs... Erst in den letzten Jahren wurde mir bewusst, wie viel der Typus - ob die Trennlinie nun nach Aristoteles, C.G. Jung, Myer-Briggs, Riemann oder Keirsey gezogen wird, macht nur Facetten aus - mit beruflichem Erfolg zu tun hat"

IF YOU want to lose weight, convince yourself that everything you eat is highly calorific. It could lower your levels of a hunger hormone, potentially suppressing your appetite. Alia Crum at Yale University and her colleagues gave 46 healthy volunteers the same 380-calorie milkshake but were told it was either a sensible, low-calorie choice or an indulgent, high-calorie one. The team also measured levels of ghrelin - a hormone released by the stomach when we are hungry - before and after participants drank the shake. Ghrelin levels have been shown to spike half an hour before mealtimes and return to normal after eating. Volunteers who thought they had indulged showed significantly greater drops in ghrelin levels than those who thought they had consumed less. The authors suggest that merely thinking that one has eaten something unhealthy can quell hunger pangs and perhaps help curb overeating (Health Psychology, DOI: 10.1037/a0023467). The study shows that food labels can affect consumption in unexpected ways, says David Cummings, an endocrinologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
