ABSTRACT Effective methods of anesthesia for octopuses are important physiological studies as well their welfare in scientific research. Neurophysiological octopus usually use general invasive procedures like electrode implantation. However, commonly used forms using ethanol, magnesium chloride, and similar agents have certain drawbacks levels stress, recovery, tissue viability much humans. We explore an old, rarely method “hypnosis”, which a still reaction is induced where communication between central peripheral nervous systems seemingly decreased. modify the procedure better handling, continuous respiration, isolation system arm cords from (CNS), providing alternative to anesthesia. Illustrative small arm-sucker coordination placements presented. The modified limits negative side-effects, markedly reduces animals’ stress levels, offers new avenues neurobehavioral
