I have to agree with Dave Barton. Furhter more, the research papers and books
I have read on the subject of Hypnosis leads me to deduce that hypnosis is 
nothing more than just intence concentration of awareness on a small set of
metnal and body processes. This concentration is intense to such a degree that
the subject starts to ignore,or not concentrate on, other body processes such
as sight, in the case of induced blindness, or pain when inducing anhesteasia.
My experience with hypnosis is not great. I became interested in it when I
was considering a variety of different therapeutic procedures to help a family
member deal with his epilepsy. I am a regular practicioner of self-hypnosis
too, but I only do this for entertainment and personal research.

P.S.: What I'm trying to lead to is that hypnosis is not that different from
the normal waking state. Therefore there may lie the reason that EEG patterns
are not affected by a 'trance'.
