== Biological aspects == There is a lack of neurophysiological investigations addressing this topic; however, one [[Electroencephalography|EEG]] study from 1963 suggested that the decrease in afferent stimulation induces a reduction in reticulo-cortical activity, decrease in thalamo-cortical activity, and functional changes in the structures connected to reticular system ([[hypothalamus]], [[limbic system]], [[red nucleus]], [[globus pallidus]]).<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Luthe |first1=W. |last2=Jus |first2=A. |last3=Geissmann |first3=P. |date=1963 |title=Autogenic State and Autogenic Shift: Psychophysiologic and Neurophysiologic Aspects |journal=Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics |language=en |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=1–13 |doi=10.1159/000285660 |issn=0033-3190 |pmid=14044678}}</ref> The same study suggested that EEG patterns obtained from subjects with different level of practice are not similar. Another study from 1958 hypothesized that autogenic state is between the normal waking state and sleep. It suggests that EEG patterns occurring during autogenic training are similar to electrophysiological changes occurring during initial stages of [[sleep]].<ref>Israel, L., & Rohmer, F. (1958).
