Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Areas responsible for processing cognition and emotion show greater activity during hypnosis, as well as hypnosis-induced changes in functional connectivity between anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the large neural network [4, 7].

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypnosis has been most closely linked to power in the theta band and changes in gamma activity. These oscillations are thought to play a critical role in both the recording and recall of declarative memory and emotional limbic circuits.

Detailed explanation-3: -While hypnosis has proved to help people with cancer relax, deal with pain, and cope with the treatment, it cannot cure a person of the disease or any other severe disease. Hypnosis Cannot Change a Person’s Appearance. Hypnosis cannot change your appearance. It can only affect your brain and your actions.

Detailed explanation-4: -During hypnosis, activity in a brain region that helps people switch between tasks quiets down, Spiegel says. This same region seems to disconnect from another area responsible for self-reflection and daydreaming-which may be why hypnotized people aren’t worried about who they are or what they’re doing.
