A quasi-experiment of 21 students that were studying the medicine career, who were in hypnosis state, assisted in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba, was carried out from September, 2014 to June, 2015, aimed at identifying the wide band spectral measures sensitive in the determination of cerebral dominance during this state. Among the analyzed variables we can mention: level of hypnotic depth and spectral measures of wide band and derivation. The false discovery rate stadigraph was used as hypothesis test to validate the statistical information and the Manova multivaried analysis of variance. The results revealed that theta relative power was the spectral measure with more significant modifications and showed a discreet prevalence of energy in the left hemisphere. It was concluded that this finding took place as a consequence of the given tasks during hypnosis.
