sense, the records prove of value in furnishing a valuable contrast 

 to the experiments in which the attention was fixed in a definite 

 direction. For example, the subject is thinking of the letter O ; 

 he does not think of it as in any special place, and the record, 

 Fig. 14, likewise reveals no movement in any one direction. Two

 well the difference between the movements while standing and 

 while sitting. 



We have thus illustrated a variety of involuntary movements 

 obtained in different ways and with bearings upon many points 

 of importance to the psychologist. They by no means exhaust 

 the possibilities of research, or the deduction of conclusions in 

 this field of study, but simply illustrate in an imperfect way how 

 abundant and intricate are the expressions of the thoughts that 

 lie within.
