"Magnetic Brain Stimulation Enhances Hypnotic Susceptibility, Study Finds"

Stanford University researchers have found that using transcranial magnetic stimulation can enhance a person's ability to be hypnotized, particularly in those with chronic pain disorders like fibromyalgia. The study aimed to make the brains of people who were not highly responsive to hypnosis act and function as if they were, potentially opening the door for improving therapy. This research could have implications for managing pain, controlling habits, overcoming phobias, and addressing various neurological and psychiatric challenges.
