Exploration of trance states: phenomenology, brain correlates, and clinical applications
Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences May 9, 2024 Olivia Gosseries, Nolwenn Marie, Yannick Lafon et al. 16 citations
Trance states, found across cultures from shamanic rituals to contemporary practices, are increasingly studied by researchers and clinicians. This review describes their common phenomenological features, such as altered awareness and perception. Using advanced neuroscientific techniques, it reports on the neural mechanisms underlying these states, including changes in brain connectivity and dynamics. The review also examines clinical applications, suggesting that trance states may be useful in therapeutic settings. By connecting subjective experience, brain function, and practical use, it advances understanding of trance and its potential benefits.
