In one research study, Hilgard asked hypnotized subjects to submerge one hand in a tub of ice-cold water. Participants were told they would feel no pain, but they were also told that they could use the nonsubmerged hand to signal any pain by pressing a telegraph key. The participants kept one hand submerged in the water, as instructed, but with the other hand they pressed the key frequently
