Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Autosuggestion is a cognitive process that is believed to enable control over one's own cognitive and physiological states. Despite its potential importance for basic science and clinical applications, such as in rehabilitation, stress reduction, or pain therapy, the neurocognitive mechanisms and psychological concepts that underlie autosuggestion are poorly defined. Here, by reviewing empirical data on autosuggestion and related phenomena such as mental imagery, mental simulation, and suggestion, we offer a neurocognitive concept of autosuggestion. We argue that autosuggestion is characterized by three major factors: reinstantiation, reiteration, and volitional, active control over one's own physiological states. We also propose that autosuggestion might involve the 'overwriting' of existing predictions or brain states that expect the most common (but not desired) outcome. We discuss potential experimental paradigms that could be used to study autosuggestion in the future, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of current evidence. This review provides a first overview on how to define, experimentally induce, and study autosuggestion, which may facilitate its use in basic science and clinical practice.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
Background
Autosuggestion, a form of self-suggestion, follows the idea that the inner repetition of a thought can influence perception. Although widely integrated into modern life, the empirical evidence on whether autosuggestion can alter one’s own perception is scarce.
Aims
This research investigates the modulatory effects of autosuggestion on perception, emotion and body representation, across six studies, using psychophysics and electrophysiological recordings.
Method
In Study 1, we designed an implicit experimental measure to assess the effects of reiterating the thought that a touch felt strong or weak, while minimizing response biases. Studies 2 and 3 examined the effects of autosuggestion and placebo. Studies 4 and 5 focused on the generalization of the autosuggestive phenomena to tactile localization and emotion attribution. Finally, Study 6 focused on the impact of haptic experiences with extreme body types on subsequent body perception.
Results
Study 1 revealed significant modulation of tactile perception through autosuggestion. However, Study 2 did not yield similar effects, highlighting potential limitations and challenges in the experimental design. Study 3 showed similar electrophysiological responses in placebo and autosuggestion. Study 4 did not yield statistically significant differences. Study 5's findings showed that autosuggestion exerts an influence on emotion attribution of facial expression. Finally, Study 6, revealed adiposity aftereffects in the haptic modality.
Conclusions
This investigation contributes valuable insights into the potential factors influencing the efficacy of autosuggestion. The findings encourage further exploration of these phenomena and opens avenues for developing targeted interventions in patient care and rehabilitation.

How the inner repetition of a desired perception changes actual tactile perception
Publication year: 2024

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-53449-7
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Autosuggestion is a cognitive process where the inner repetition of a thought actively influences one's own perceptual state. In spite of its potential benefits for medical interventions, this technique has gained little scientific attention so far. Here, we took advantage of the known link between intensity and frequency perception in touch ('Békésy effect'). In three separate experiments, participants were asked to modulate the perceived intensity of vibrotactile stimuli at the fingertip through the inner reiteration of the thought that this perception feels very strong (Experiment 1, n = 19) or very weak (Experiments 2, n = 38, and 3, n = 20), while they were asked to report the perceived frequency. We show that the task to change the perceived intensity of a tactile stimulus via the inner reiteration of a thought modulates tactile frequency perception. This constitutes the first experimental demonstration that an experimental design that triggers autosuggestion alters participants' tactile perception using a response orthogonal to the suggested variable. We discuss whether this cognitive process could be used to influence the perception of pain in a clinical context.

Haptic experience of bodies alters body perception

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Research on media's effects on body perception has mainly focused on the role of vision of extreme body types. However, haptics is a major part of the way children experience bodies. Playing with unrealistically thin dolls has been linked to the emergence of body image concerns, but the perceptual mechanisms remain unknown. We explore the effects of haptic experience of extreme body types on body perception, using adaptation aftereffects. Blindfolded participants judged whether the doll-like stimuli explored haptically were thinner or fatter than the average body before and after adaptation to an underweight or overweight doll. In a second experiment, participants underwent a traditional visual adaptation paradigm to extreme bodies, using stimuli matched to those in Experiment 1. For both modalities, after adaptation to an underweight body test bodies were judged as fatter. Adaptation to an overweight body produced opposite results. For the first time, we show adiposity aftereffects in haptic modality, analogous to those established in vision, using matched stimuli across visual and haptic paradigms.
