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.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
