The character of the energ> discharge must not be knownto the subject so that expectant attention which has a de-cided influence on involuntary muscular movements maybe excluded. Individuals vary in their susceptibility to the energydischarge and temperamental subjects are necessary. Thelatter is practically a reflexophile (one with exaggeratedreflexes) who shows, greater susceptibility to all impres-sions, greater rapidity of action, of ideas and of speech. GYROGRAPHY 241 Comfortably seated, the subject suspends from thefingers a cord (15 cm. in length) to which is attached a weight(35 grams). The arm rests on a cushion. Below the edge of the tableis a microscope (with ocular removed) into the aperture ofwhich the recording plate covered with blackened paper (Fig. 62).. Fig. 62.—Method of making gyrograms. A, weight with attached shaving ofcork; B, recording plate; C, microscope into the ocular aperture of which therecording plate is placed. With the coarse adjustment of the microscope, an assis-tant raises or lowers the plate to accommodate the recordingtip. The latter (thin shaving of cork) is fixed to the weight byplaster. The proximal electrode of the sphygmobiometer is 242 APPEXDIX attached to the abdomen whereas the receiving electrode isplaced in juxtaposition with the energy source. The subject with closed eyes first communicates withhis fingers a shght lateral motion to the weight. When the latter motion is regular, the circuit is closedand when any change in the direction of the movement of theweight occurs, the microscope is raise
