In this episode of Neurokrish Immersion, we explore the extraordinary life and ideas of Abbe Faria, the Goan priest who transformed hypnotism from Mesmer’s mystical magnetism into a psychology rooted in attention, agency and the human mind.
Through the lens of Dr. Egas Moniz’s writings, we trace how Faria’s radical insight, that hypnosis arises from within the subject, anticipated modern neuroscience by two centuries. Discover how his observations connect to today’s understanding of brain networks, healing, therapy and contemplative traditions across cultures.
