"In this work, we present the law of transmission and transformation of expressive movement. This law shows how a cerebral movement can be transmitted to other brains, without being distorted [...] It thus demonstrates the remote propagation of nervous disorders and phenomena: yawning, laughter, various tics, epileptiform phenomena, etc...." (extract).
Rambosson continues here his work begun with a memoir presented on June 8, 1880 to the Academy of Medicine under the title "The Remote Propagation of Disorders".
