Abstract
We investigated autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulation during self-induced cognitive trance (SICT), a volitional and modified states of consciousness. Cardiac and respiratory signals were recorded in expert participants under this state, and our results suggest a withdrawal of parasympathetic activity, suggesting a hyperarousal state of ANS during SICT.
