    El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar la evidencia experimental existente en relación con los cambios en la activación psicofisiológica producidos por las técnicas de sugestión e hipnosis, poniendo especial énfasis en el tipo de instrucciones administradas y el nivel de sugestionabilidad de los individuos, así como en la interacción entre ambos aspectos. Se revisan los principales resultados obtenidos con diversos indicadores psicofisiológicos: respuesta electrodérmica, tasa cardíaca, temperatura periférica de la piel, rítmo respiratorio, tono muscular, medidas electroencefalográficas, potenciales evocados y especificidad hemisférica. Se concluye que (1) no existen criterios psicofisiológicos diferenciadores de la hipnosis per se; (2) no existe evidencia empírica suficiente de una posible relación entre respuestas psicofisiológicas y niveles de profundidad en hipnosis; y (3) Los cambios encontrados en el nivel de activación pueden atribuirse más al grado de sugestionabilidad y al tipo de instrucciones administradas que a la existencia o no de un supuesto estado hipnótico diferencial.

    This paper reviews the experimental evidence related with the changes in the psychophysiological arousal produced by techniques of suggestion and hypnosis, especially regarding to the types of instructions administered and the level of suggestibility of the subjects as well as the interaction of both topics. Main results with differents psychophysiological measures are addressed: electrodermal response, heart rate, peripheral skin temperature, respiration measures, muscle tone, EEG-brainwaves measures, evoked potentials and hemipheric specificity. It is concluded that (1) there are no differential psychophysiological criteria for hypnosis per se; (2) there is no enough empirical evidence on the relationship between psychophysiological responses and hypnotic depth; and (3) changes in psychophysiological arousal are mainly due to the level of suggestibility of the individuals and the type of instructions administered during hypnosis than to the supposed hypnotic state.
