Selected coronal sections showing significantly attenuated neural semantic priming after hypnotic-suggestive treatment relative to normal wakefulness.

<p>The statistical parametric map associated with the contrast [(U_noT - R_noT) - (U_Treat - R_Treat)] was overlaid on the group averaged T1 image using MRIcron (<a href="http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/mricron/" target="_blank">http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricro/mricron/</a>). Numbers in white color denote the y-coordinates of the slices in MNI space. From selected regions (yellow circles) the magnitude of neural activation associated with related, and unrelated trials at normal wakefulness (noT), and after treatment (Treat) was extracted and averaged. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean (24 participants).
