"In other cases, when the medium becomes entranced, the demonstration of a communicator's separate intelligence may become stronger and the sophistication less"

This quote by Oliver Joseph Lodge is describing the phenomenon of mediumship, which is the practice of communicating with spirits of the dead. In some cases, when a medium ends up being entranced, the intelligence of the communicator from the spirit world might end up being more evident and the communication more sophisticated. This might be viewed as a sign that the medium remains in a much deeper state of trance and is more connected to the spirit world. It could likewise be an indication that the spirit is more effective and is able to interact more plainly. This quote is a pointer that mediumship is a complex phenomenon which the level of communication can vary depending on the medium's state of hypnotic trance and the power of the spirit.
