Automatism
Automatism is the practice or theory of the spontaneous production of words (speech or writing), drawing, painting or other creative production, or behavior in general, without conscious self-control or self-censorship.
There are two types of automatism: mediumistic automatism, in which the speech, writing or behaviour produced is purported to be communicated from ghosts, spirits or the like, channelling[?] through a psychic or medium, and surrealist automatism. See also: surautomatism Automatism is also a legal term for the state of acting involuntarily, as in sleepwalking. External links:
