Entropy of the electroencephalogram has only recently been commercialized as a monitoring tool of the hypnotic component of anesthesia. In this pilot study two highly hypnotizable subjects, known to the author in previous sessions of clinical hypnosis, underwent an experimental hypnotic test with monitoring of the entropy of the electroencephalogram to assess the behavior of this neurophysiological parameter in hypnosis, as compared to relaxed state of wakefulness and to observe a possible congruence with the work of Prof. De Benedittis with the bispectral index.

Keywords: Hypnosis, electroencephalographic measures, entropy, conscious sedation, bispectral index
