碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 光電科學與工程學系 === 102 === The present study is mainly considering what has become popular recently in cognitive neuroscience, that using modern scientific methods to study one of the most mysterious phenomenon in psychology, psychiatry and clinical medicine - "Hypnosis" – reviewing numerous literature of the past 20 years studies of the "hypnosis" phenomenon or using the "hypnotic" technique to study other scientific subjects, and summarize their methods and conclusions, and propose the future trends in scientific "hypnosis" research. Meanwhile, since the little use of "hypnosis"to study creativity, this present paper attempts to initially using "attention defocused" technique and "hypnotic music" technique to studied the language creativity (divergent thinking) and graphic creativity (divergent thinking). The results show that on the one hand "attention defocused" technique effectively enhances the language creativity of subjects, on the other hand, brings an inhibitory effect to their graphic creativity. Also, in the language creativity task, "attention defocused" technique for enhancing subject s' creativity is more apparent for the low, but in the completion of the graphic creativity tasks, it is more apparent to inhibit the performance of the high. In addition, "hypnotic music" technique effectively enhances the graphic creativity for the high and low creativity, and the impact of these two groups is equally fair. EEG analysis shows that the subjects' left and right brain Alpha1's, Alpha2's mean and standard deviation, and the difference between the Alpha1' mean minus Beta1' mean, the greater the higher creativity performance. And the enhancement of the low, may be associated with the right brain Alpha2' mean and standard deviation level.
