Building on Hilgard’s (1965) classic work, the domain of hypnosis has been conceptualised by Barnier, Dienes, and Mitchell (2008) as comprising three levels: (1) classic hypnotic items, (2) responding between and within items, and (3) state and trait. The current experiment investigates sense of agency across each of these three levels. Forty-six high hypnotisable participants completed an ideomotor (arm levitation), a challenge (arm rigidity) and a cognitive (anosmia) item either following a hypnotic induction (hypnosis condition) or without a hypnotic induction (wake condition). In a postexperimental inquiry, participants rated their feelings of control at three time points for each item: during the suggestion, test and cancellation phases. They also completed the Sense of Agency Rating Scale (Polito, Barnier, & Woody, 2013) for each item. Pass rates, control ratings, and agency scores fluctuated across the different types of items and for the three phases of each item; also, control ratings and agency scores often differed across participants who passed versus failed each item. Interestingly, whereas a hypnotic induction influenced the likelihood of passing items, it had no direct effect on agentive experiences. These results suggest that altered sense of agency is not a unidimensional or static quality “switched on” by hypnotic induction, but a dynamic multidimensional construct that varies across items, over time and according to whether individuals pass or fail suggestions.

An improved analytical model for the description of the anode contraction zone of a high intensity arc takes radiation effects into account. The conservation equations for the anode contraction zone and the adjacent undisturbed arc column are solved numerically with a relaxation method. Results for atmospheric pressure argon arcs at three different currents demonstrate that radiation losses reduce temperature peaks substantially and, at the same time, provide a smooth matching of arc column and contraction zone solutions. Although the model seems to be adequate for a large portion of the anode contraction zone, the results indicate that refinements of the model are necessary for the region close to the anode, in particular, deviations from LTE have to be taken into account.
