Discover The Study of Trance Muscle Reading by George Miller Beard
Dive into the fascinating world of neuroscience and trance phenomena with George Miller Beard’s groundbreaking work. This exceptional study brings to light pivotal narratives and analyses that were previously unknown to many neurologists and practitioners across Europe and America. Beard meticulously documents the history of muscle-reading, presenting unique insights derived from both memory and various public and private documents.
Explore the evolution of trance as a scientific discipline, from its early days of obscurity to its recognition as a structured science. Beard and Mr. Braid were pioneers in this field, laying the foundational work long before the renowned French and German experiments began. This monograph not only tracks the development of trance studies but also includes a compelling defense of Dr. Charcot in the section titled ‘The Moral Character of Trance Subjects.’
- Comprehensive Analysis: Detailed narratives and critical analyses of neurological phenomena.
- Historical Insights: First-time records of muscle-reading and trance phenomena.
- Scientific Evolution: Chronicles the development of trance studies into a recognized science.
- Defense of Dr. Charcot: A thoughtful analysis of the moral aspects of trance subjects.
This book is an invaluable resource for students and researchers interested in the historical and scientific aspects of trance and neurology, offering a deep dive into the early research that shaped our understanding of the mind.

From the preface:
The following narratives and analyses of facts relating to the investigation of important and interesting phenomena of the nervous system are published in the belief that they will be new, in whole or in part, to the majority of neurologists and practitioners, both in Europe and America.
Some of the facts connected with the detailed history of muscle-reading are here put on permanent record for the first time, and have been obtained partly from memory and partly from public and private documents in my possession.
It is interesting and incredible that these phenomena of the involuntary life which, during the past year, have been exciting so much inquiry in the neurological world, even so recently as 1874 were almost entirely without an audience.
It is just to remind students of these topics, who are comparing the earlier and later researches, that all the leading problems connected with the nature and phenomena of Trance were solved and the whole subject organized in a science by Mr. Braid and myself, years before the recent French and German experiments were inaugurated. My own special task was to take up the subject where Mr. Braid left it and bring it out of the territorial into the organized stage. This task was substantially accomplished in the monograph published in 1877, and which is referred to in the following statement of facts.
This article includes a defence of Dr. Charcot under the subject heading “The Moral Character of Trance Subjects”.
