Hypnotism. (See Illus. Diet.) H., Bennett's Phy- 

 siologic Theory, assumes alterations in the functional 

 activity of the white matter of the cerebral lobes; a 

 proportion of which become paralyzed through con- 

 tinuous monotonous stimulations, while the action of 

 others is exalted, bringing interruption between the 

 ganglion cells. H., Bennett's Psychic Theory, 

 the phenomenon due to unchecked ideas which gain 

 prominence because other ideas which ordinarily would j 

 control their development do not arise, owing to 

 temporary suspension of the action of that part of i 

 the brain with which they are associated; i. e., the I 

 connection between the ganglion cells is broken 1 

 owing to interrupted connection between the associa- 

 tion fibers. H., Bernheim's Theory, regards the I 

 entire nervous force of the subject as concentrated upon I 

 a single idea, the focus of which concentration may be I 

 shifted from one point to another by the suggestion of I 

 the operator. H., Braid's Physical Theory ( 1843), ] 

 held the phenomena were due neither to the volition | 

 nor force of the operator but to physical changes in the I 

 subject, the exhaustion of certain nerve-eenters result- 1 

 ing in diminished functional activity of the central | 

 nervous system, from continued monotonous stimula- i 

 tion of other nerves; e. g., those of the eye by gazing, I 

 those of the skin by contact. H., Braid's Later or I 

 Psychic Theory, regards the hypnotic state as one I 

 of monoideism, the mind so engrossed with one idea as I 

 to be dead to other influences and only one function 

 active at any one time and thus intensely so., H.,
