Subjects highly (Highs) and low susceptible to hypnosis (Lows) show different imagery and attentional capabilities and also peculiar somatomotor, vegetative and electroencephalographic differences in basal and task conditions. Since attention is one of the main component of hypnotic susceptibility and also a relevant factor for postural control, the aim of the experiment was to study actual differences between Highs and Lows at the eyes closure during upright stance. Visual and motor imagery as well as attentional/disattentional capabilities were evaluated through psychological tests. Posture was monitored though Elite systems during upright stance with open and closed eyes. At the eyes closure, Highs and Lows exhibited a different body sway modulation. Possible different compensation mechanisms are suggested for the two groups and interactions between attentional/arousal systems responsible of hypnotic phenomenology and postural control are underlined.
