Virtual Haptics
Virtual Haptics

Synopsis :
Haptic systems are very resistant to suggestion . This is because most of the information processing is done on site , before the resultant is sent to the CNS .
But powerful feedback processes are possible .
The Haptic Golfer illustrates this .
See:

Discussion :
The Haptic Golfer :
The Algorithm is simple :
1. At tee-off , have imaginary smart superstrong strings connecting your hands and feet to Anchor points in a recognizable roughly square around you . Next , have a superstrong string connecting your head to the hole .
2. Imagine that each string is connected to a smart motor that will correct your swing .
You do not have to concentrate too hard .
The system is pre-programmed by evolution .
Think like an inverse puppet .
3. Practise and play .
Learning will happen much faster .
What is going on ?
Evolution has armoured the physical systems against self-deception of the hypnosis and suggestion varieties , but there is a chink-hole using mirror-neurons .
Each Anchor point is a nexus of mirror neurons . Suggestion is a narrowing of focus (ie the superstrong cable and Anchor) .
The Systems interact more efficiently than a top-down central command system .
Therapeutic usage :
Elderly persons where fine control has gone due to death of too many cells , can benefit by a simplification of this nature .
Just imagine cables pulling them everywhere .It does not matter if they are paranoid . The effect is the same .
This is so simple , I am going to try it on the Putt-Putt course this weekend .
Inverse gods , anyone ?
Andre.
