Abstract

The article focuses on the author's findings on an experiment done to obtain differences in evoked potentials which are related to differences in psychological events. The author has realized that the sense of strangeness and awe that follows discovery of a new symbolic code is not diminished by even a sophisticated appreciation of the arbitrary nature of all codes. Furthermore, he has also indicated that there is a positive-going process which is present when an event occurs about which the subject is uncertain, but which is absent when the identical event occurs in the context of certainty.
