that many participants believed that a crudely-built “brain scanner”—assembled from discarded

attitudes (Olson, Landry, Appourchaux, & Raz, 2016; Olson, Strandberg, Hall, Johansson, &

Raz, 2017). In light of these findings, we decided to test the clinical applications of this technique we term neurosuggestion"

In other words a placebo-treatment with a “brain scanner”—assembled from discarded

Neuro-suggestion is defined by the authors who wrote the paper. I cited their definition. They say: (Olson, Landry, Appourchaux, & Raz, 2016; Olson, Strandberg, Hall, Johansson, &

Raz, 2017). In light of these findings, we decided to test the clinical applications of this technique we term neurosuggestion"
