Hypnosis
Captions available
The idea
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility induced by another person's guidance.
In practice
A hypnotized participant follows a suggestion to ignore a mild painful stimulus and reports less discomfort.
Where people slip
Hypnosis does not produce reliable memory recovery, and hypnotically obtained memories are not admissible as fact.
