There is one unitary conscious state accompanying all the simultaneous brain excitations together, and each single part of the brain-process contributes something to its nature.
By also studying sexual excitations other than the manifestly open ones it discovers that all men are capable of homosexual object selection and actually accomplish this in the unconscious.
The excitations in question are produced as usual but are prevented from attaining their aim by psychic hindrances, and are driven off into many other paths until they express themselves in a symptom.
The excitations from all these sources do not yet unite, but they pursue their aim individually--this aim consisting merely in the gaining of a certain pleasure.
On the other hand] the sensitive cortical layer has no protective barrier against excitations emanating from within.
The most prolific sources of suchexcitations are the so-called instincts of the organism.
In the first place, there is, undoubtedly, during sleep, a general torpor of the sensorium, which prevents the appreciation of the ordinary excitations made upon the organs of the special senses.
Now it must not be supposed that because mild excitations transmitted by the nerves of the special senses are incapable of making themselves felt, that therefore the brain is in a state of complete repose throughout all its parts.
We do not see, hear, smell, taste or enjoy the sense of touch in sleep, although the brain may be aroused into activity and we may awake through the excitations conveyed to it by the special senses.
The cause of nervous perceptions--that is, the information reported by the nervous system concerning the excitations which it experiences--it does not find in itself.
In those that follow it is excitations of the sensorial centres that find expression.
It cannot be doubted that the brain has knowledge also of the internal excitations of the organism, and only for the reasons already stated is not, as a general rule, distinctly conscious of them.
It observes that the sensorial excitations are not caused by anything contained in itself.
The excitations which proceed from the interior, the bio-chemical and bio-mechanical processes of the cell, are continued, and endure as long as the life of the cell itself.
The immediate phonetic reaction upon sensory excitationsis merely an exclamation.
I have in the preceding paragraph described an experiment where under a given intensity and duration of exposure the excitations of the proximal and distal sides bring about neutralisation, the organ assuming a dia-phototropic position.
I was next desirous of determining the relative excitations at the two angles by the Method of Vertical Rotation.
On the physical side, these hallucinations answer to cerebral excitations which are central or automatic, not depending on movements transmitted from the periphery of the nervous system.
Among the psychic accompaniments of these central excitations visual images, as already hinted, fill the most conspicuous place.
No doubt, in very erotic women, sexual excitations may lead to indecent acts and expressions, but these are rare exceptions and of a pathological nature.
The second are the result of the influence excited by erotic excitations and habit on the first.
What is much more abnormal are the numerous artificial sexual excitations that civilization brings with it.
In Chapter VIII we shall prove that not only the anomalies of the hereditary sexual disposition, but artificial excitationsand bad habits may also produce all kinds of misconduct and excesses which should be energetically combated.
Immoderate sexual desire, provoked in men by the artificial excitations of prostitution, etc.
Children especially should be protected against such excitations of the sexual appetite, and it is necessary to fix a legal distinction between what is offensive and what is not offensive to public propriety or modesty.
The possession of soul he defines as the "capacity of sensibility in the organism to excitations of various sorts, and of reaction upon these excitations with certain movements.
In any case, the former appears exceedingly early, for excitations of hunger may be observed in creatures very low in the scale of being.
This whole deduction is at variance with Spencer's theory that pleasurable excitations are favorable to life, painful ones injurious.
These two categories include the sensitive cells and the motor cells; the one transmits to the other the stimulus born of excitations provoked by the internal or external centres.
The motor reactions of cutaneousexcitations favor this hypothesis.
It will be observed that most of the conditions mentioned are such as would be favorable to excitations of an emotionally sexual character.
It has been shown that the rays which cause the most intense excitations in Mimosa also induce the greatest retardation in the rate of growth.
Without placing these particulars in the context of the meanings wrought out in the larger experience of the past--without the use of reason or thought--particulars are mere excitations or irritations.
The theory, so far as educationally applied, led either to a magnification of mere physical excitations or else to a mere heaping up of isolated objects and qualities.
This passion," he concludes, "fuses into one immense aggregate most of the elementary excitations of which we are capable.
Neisser believes that more prolonged abstinence than is now usual would be beneficial, but admitted the sexual excitations of our civilization; he added that of course he saw no harm for healthy men in intercourse.
He writes: "What would vegetable life be without excitationsfrom without, what would be the life even of the lower animals without this cause?
Now, the dream is a seeking and presenting of reasons for these excitations of feeling, of the supposed reasons, that is to say.
Amidst the excitations of Paris he could push away the remembrance that another man knew the shame of his life.
These may take possession of the excitations in the circle of thought thus left to itself, establish a connection between it and the unconscious wish, and transfer to it the energy inherent in the unconscious wish.
The guardian is then overpowered, the unconscious excitationssubdue the Forec.
The co-excitations of the sensory centers, that are as yet impressed with too few memory-images, can not yet take place on occasion of a single excitation, the cerebral connecting fibers being as yet too scanty.
In the waking condition it has continued existence only where the centro-sensory excitations are most strongly in force; i.
The sound-excitations arriving from the ear at the central endings of the auditory nerve are not directly transformed into motor excitations for the laryngeal nerves, so that the glottis contracts to utter vocal sound.
L, l onlyexcitations coming from S, and n only those coming from W, as impulses for M.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "excitations" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
