The statement "it appears to block our attention to it" hints at selective attention being the role of hypnosis. Additionally, the statement that hypnosis increases activity in the frontal lobe attention systems supports the idea of selective attention being involved, as this refers to the ability to focus attention on specific stimuli while ignoring others.
