Braidism

Braidism refers to the method of inducing hypnotic sleep by fixing a pendulous or solid object. The term goes back to the doctor James Braid and was particularly common in English-speaking countries. In Germany it was initially used synonymously for hypnotism , later mainly to describe Braid's technique of optical fixation.
