On the Excitation Processes of Fits and Other Convulsive and Emotional States

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

In the previous paper on the subconscious and conscious mind it was tacitly assumed throughout that excitation processes, though capable of activating the responding organ, yet are kept within the limits of that organ's capacity to respond. In the case of the heart, however, it was definitely pointed out that the responding organ had a limited capacity to give a normal response; also that the intensity of excitation processes could exceed this capacity (1, 3).
