Notes
- . The data presented in the figures are obtained through averaging 200 responses with a CAT computer. Each group of four traces represents simultaneous recording from four pairs of electrodes placed in a small circle in left occipital position. The traces are at angles of 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees, respectively, obtained through bipolar recording between opposite electrodes of the eight‐electrode circular Clynes rosette.

- We may remark here that the proportion of motion in the world under the direction of brains appears to be increasing, and we are heading in the direction where information and decision control the movement of matter in space rather than exchanges of energy alone. Also, the energy, in fact, is merely another way of looking at the capacity of altering motion.
