In 1779, Franz Mesmer (German physician，1734-1815), publishes 《A Memoir on the Discovery of Animal Magnetism》. Mesmer induced trance through the applicaiton of magnets often to the stomach, to manipulate the body's natural (or "animal") , hoping to bring it back into a harmonious state. 德国医生佛朗兹.麦斯迈出版《动物磁力发现录》。在书中，他描述借用磁力来刺激患者。
In 1819, Abbe Faria (a Portugese-Goan monk, 1756-1819) wrote 《On The Cause of Lucid Sleep》. 葡萄牙属果阿天主教徒法利亚写了《论清醒睡眠的原因》
Faria concluded that the phenomena relied only upon power of suggestion. Faria saw his role as a "concentrator" helping his subject get into the right state of mind. 法利亚指出人自身的“暗示之力”才是进入恍惚睡眠状态的关键。医生的角色是“集中者”， 负责引导入眠对象进入入眠状态。
"Nothing comes from the magnetizer; everything comes from the subject and takes place in his imagination."

Coined the term "neuro-hypnotism" in 《Neurypnology》. 在《神经性睡眠》一书中创造了“神经催眠术” 一词。
Brad concluded that hypnosis is not a type of sleep but a concentration on a single idea, resulting in heightened suggestibility. Brad称催眠状态并非一种睡眠，而是人在贯注一件事上之后，暗示性得到了提高。
