Hypnosis and epilepsy are related as both states involve the interruption of the Default Mode Network and its connectivity with the prefrontal cortex [1]. Furthermore, both conditions are linked to altered states of consciousness and visionary experiences, necessitating a unified model to explain their shared neurological mechanisms {fact:1, fact:2}.

claimThe interruption of the Default Mode Network (specifically the posterior cingulate cortex) by meditation, hypnosis, and epilepsy necessitates a general explanation for psychedelic effects within the broader context of altered consciousness.
claimVisionary experiences produced by psychedelics, meditation, hypnosis, and pathological conditions like epilepsy share similarities, suggesting a need for a general model to explain these states.
claimPsychedelics, meditation, hypnosis, and epilepsy all cause an interruption of ordinary brain control processes by compromising the integrity of the Default Mode Network (DMN) and its connectivity with other brain areas, particularly the prefrontal cortex (PFC).
