Tom: You might want to ask Arthur Perlini (also at Algoma) about this. He's conducted some research on hypnotic visual hallucinations that might be generalizable to your query.
I believe that he would argue (as would I) that the hypnotic masking would not interfere with perception of the actual stimulus, at least not over and above what one would expect with simple (nonhypnotic) distraction. -Max Gwynn On Fri, 15 Mar 2002, Tom Allaway wrote: > Tipsters, > > I have a student interested in whether a hypnotically induced > perception of an auditory stimulus could be demonstrated to mask an > actual stimulus.
