Virtual Haptics

Virtual Haptics Andre Willers 8 Sep 2011 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: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnotism 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.
