The purpose of this protocol is to test the effect of hypnosis on laboratory dyspnea.
This is a study of permissive suggestion in two laboratory models of dyspnea ("work/effort", "air hunger"). Breathing discomfort rating induced by laboratory models of dyspnea will be assessed before, during and after hypnosis.

Subject rating of Breathing Discomfort (affective component of dyspnea)
Subjects will rate breathing discomfort using a visual analog scale at baseline (pre-intervention), during the intervention (hypnosis/ visual distraction) and after intervention (recovery) while subject will be submitted to the laboratory model of dyspnea for 5 minutes (three runs of laboratory dyspnea (baseline, intervention and recovery).
Time frame: continuous measurement for 5 minutes
Subject rating of dyspnea intensity (sensory component of dyspnea)
Subjects will rate dyspnea intensity using a visual analog scale at baseline (pre-intervention), during the intervention (hypnosis/ visual distraction) and after intervention (recovery) while subject will be submitted to the laboratory model of dyspnea for 5 minutes (three runs of laboratory dyspnea (baseline, intervention and recovery).
Time frame: continuous measurement for 5 minutes
