In contrast to these electro-oculographic observations made during sleep, there are a few findings observed from a standpoint of psychophysiology in subjects who are awake with their eyes closed. Lorens and Darrow⁹ have reported electro-oculographic changes caused by mental calculations. Amadeo and Shagass¹ have also described the relation between electro-oculographic findings and hypnosis or attention. These reports measured small, rapid eye movements.
