Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Cold control theory claims that people can alter their subjective experiences in responding to hypnotic suggestions, by having an intention to perform an act while being unaware of the intention. That is, according to the theory, hypnotic response entails not being mindful of a relevant intention.
AIMS
The aim was to test the claim that hypnotic response may be harder for people who have been trained to be more mindful of mental states, compared to an active control.
METHOD
Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: mindfulness of mental states; of the world (active control); waiting list control. Hypnotic response was measured pre and post; as was mindfulness, stress, depression and anxiety.
RESULTS
The mental state group increased in the mindfulness facet Acting with Awareness (AA) compared to the waiting list control, difference = 0.35 Likert units. A correlational study we ran showed a change of -0.13 subjective units in hypnotic response per unit change AA. Thus, we would expect a change in hypnotic response of 0.35 x -0.13 = - 0.05 subjective units in the mental state group compared to the control group.
The amount by which hypnotic response reduced in the mental states condition vs the control condition was -0.18, t(60) = 1.00, BH(0,.05) = 0.79, which is insensitive. We would need about 3,000 participants in total to detect such an effect.
Mindfulness of mental states compared to controls reliably reduced depression and anxiety by 0.3 Likert units.
CONCLUSIONS
Showing an increase in mindfulness reduces hypnotic response will need a multilabs study. We found however that mindfulness of mental states rather than the world reduces depression and anxiety.

Phenomenological control as cold control: Hypnosis and beyond
Publication year: 2022

https://psyarxiv.com/7jn8q
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We first review recent work from our laboratory, which construes hypnotizability as an example of a more general trait of capacity for phenomenological control, which people can use to create subjective experiences in many non-hypnotic contexts where those experiences fulfill people’s goals. Second, we review recent work, which construes phenomenological control as a specifically metacognitive process, where intentional cognitive and motor action occurs without awareness of specific intentions (cold control theory). In terms of the reach of phenomenological control, we argue that various laboratory phenomena, namely vicarious pain, mirror-touch synesthesia, and the rubber hand illusion are to an unknown degree a construction of phenomenological control. The argument can of course be extended in principle to other findings. In terms of the reach of cold
control, we present a new theory of intentional binding and show how intentional binding can measure the absence of conscious intentions in the hypnotic context. We obtain no evidence that cold control confers abilities beyond the changes in the metacognitive monitoring it postulates, and we explore the negative correlation between mindfulness and cold control viewed as a lack of mindfulness of intentions.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This chapter reviews evidence that people have, to a varying degree, a trait ability to control phenomenology; that is, to construct subjective experiences according to situational requirements. The experiences can be subjectively compelling ones of involuntariness (for actually intentional movements); of perceptions (that grossly misrepresent reality); and of having beliefs (that in fact one only pretends to have, e.g. being of the opposite gender). Phenomenological control produces the neural and physiological processes that underlie having the subjective experiences. We argue that phenomenological control is best understood by distinguishing first order states from higher order thoughts; in particular, phenomenological control is produced by intentionally creating the required first order states while thinking one is not so intending. Phenomenological control can be used in any context where having a subjective experience would help convince yourself and others that you share group values. It can be used in a hypnotic context to create hypnotic responses. But it can also be used in the context of psychological experiments to construct the phenomena postulated by the researcher where those phenomena are suggested by demand characteristics.

Trait phenomenological control predicts experience of mirror synaesthesia and the rubber hand illusion
Publication year: 2020

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-18591-6
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In hypnotic responding, expectancies arising from imaginative suggestion drive striking experiential changes (e.g., hallucinations) — which are experienced as involuntary — according to a normally distributed and stable trait ability (hypnotisability). Such experiences can be triggered by implicit suggestion and occur outside the hypnotic context. In large sample studies (of 156, 404 and 353 participants), we report substantial relationships between hypnotisability and experimental measures of experiential change in mirror-sensory synaesthesia and the rubber hand illusion comparable to relationships between hypnotisability and individual hypnosis scale items. The control of phenomenology to meet expectancies arising from perceived task requirements can account for experiential change in psychological experiments.

Among its activities the BIAL Foundation manages the BIAL Award, created in 1984, one of the most important awards in the Health field in Europe. The BIAL Award rewards both the basic and the clinical research distinguishing works of major impact in medical research.
The BIAL Foundation also assigns Scientific Research Scholarships for the study of neurophysiological and mental health in people, arousing the interest of researchers in the areas of Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
To date the BIAL Foundation has supported 461 projects, more than 1000 researchers, with research groups in twenty-seven countries, resulting, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, out of which 172 published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Since 1996 the BIAL Foundation organizes the Symposia entitled "Behind and Beyond the Brain", a Forum that gathers well renowned neurosciences speakers and the BIAL Foundation Fellows which are spread around the world.
Classified as an institution of public utility, the BIAL Foundation includes among its patrons the Portuguese President, the Portuguese Universities Rectors' Council and the Portuguese Medical Association.

Title: BIAL Grants
Start date: 1994
History:
In 1994 the BIAL Foundation launched a programme of science research grants with the aim of encouraging the research into Man’s physical and mental processes, namely in fields still largely unexplored but which warrant further scientific analysis, as Psychophysiology and Parapsychology.
Since its launch, applications to the BIAL grants have been increasing. Up to now 461 projects have been supported, involving more than 1000 researchers from 27 countries.
The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Title:
Minimal mindfulness of the world as an active control for a full mindfulness of mental states intervention: A Registered Report and Pilot study
Publication year: 2022

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Mindfulness is a continual renewal of non-elaborative attention on an object of focus, without clinging or aversion, and with equanimity. As this requires the capacity to monitor and control the extent to which one is on task, it is a metacognitive exercise. Mindfulness is especially metacognitive when directed towards mental states themselves, which is largely how the practice was conceived in the original Buddhist scriptures. Alternatively, mindfulness could be directed towards the world around oneself in a less metacognitive fashion. Notably, whilst mindfulness of the world is directed towards the referents of sensory states (e.g., “the sky is blue”), mindfulness of mental states includes a higher-order awareness of the experience of a sensory state as a mental state in and of itself (e.g., “I see the sky is blue”) – as a sensation.
We aim to test the centrality of metacognition in mindfulness practice by contrasting a full Mindfulness of Mental States intervention against a minimal Mindfulness of the World intervention, to act as a potential active control for non-specific effects, alongside a Waitlist control. Survey measures of mindfulness directed at the world and mental states separately, mental health measures, and participant expectations for each of these outcomes, will be administered. Bayesian contrasts of the group by time interaction will be the primary analysis used to test, for the first time, the effects of mindfulness against a true active control (if it should turn out to be one). Pilot data presented in the first section below show some promising initial results. Between the Mental States and World focused conditions, evidence in the hypothesised direction was discovered on the Observe and Acting with Awareness facets of the 24-item FFMQ-sf (other facets were insensitive), on the PHQ-4 anxiety subscale, and on the RRS.
