The World Hypnosis Congress was founded and is chaired by Dr. Paret: it brings together hypnotists and researchers from Europe and around the world and has been held in several editions. In June 2017, in Rome, the American hypnotist Tom Silver showed live, with EEG, what happens in the brain during hypnosis.
