👉 In the context of psychology and neuroscience, mesmerization refers to a state where an individual becomes completely entranced by or hypnotized by something that is perceived as being too powerful or unfamiliar. It can occur in various contexts including meditation, trance states (such as lucid dreaming), or even in everyday experiences such as watching a movie or reading a book. The term comes from the Latin word "mes" meaning "to attract," and "lumiere," which means "light."
