Hypnosis meets AI: could a machine learn to soothe your anxiety?
NCT ID NCT07102810
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study at Mount Sinai measured brain waves and other body signals in 50 healthy volunteers during a standard hypnosis session. The goal was to collect data to train an artificial intelligence tool that can recognize when a person is calm or in a trance. Future research may use this AI to create personalized audio and video that helps people relax without medication during medical procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a non-drug device that uses personalized audio/video to reduce anxiety during medical procedures like biopsies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (50 healthy volunteers) that only collects data—no treatment is tested. The AI tool is still in development and may not work as hoped.
