Hypnosis is related to the default mode network because it induces an interruption of the network's ordinary control processes [1] and specifically reduces activity within its anterior regions [2]. Furthermore, hypnosis is categorized alongside other states of altered consciousness that compromise the integrity of the default mode network [3], with its depth of absorption directly correlating to the degree of network activity reduction [4].

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.
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).
referenceHypnosis reduces activity in the anterior areas of the Default Mode Network (DMN), with the depth of attentional absorption induced by hypnosis correlating with the degree of DMN activity reduction, according to studies by McGeown et al. (2009) and Deeley et al. (2012).

claimHypnosis is associated with decreased default mode network activity in the brain, and high hypnotizability correlates with increased functional connectivity between the executive control network and the salience network.
