Abstract
The direction of lateral eye-movements upon inward direction of attention or reflection is related to hypnotic susceptibility. A predominance of left eye-movements is associated with greater hypnotizability and also with humanistic interests, relatively poorer mathematical performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, and clearer imagery. Results are discussed in terms of functional asymmetry of the brain.Keywords
