How does exposure happen?

Exposure is simple

 

 

Remember, the subject must engage deep mental investment to the point that they are no longer aware of events going on around them. Knowledge workers and students do this all day. That’s why Cubicle Level Protection is necessary. In this picture it is reading a book. But substitute any number of other activities such as daydreaming, using a computer, or playing video games.

It hasn’t occurred to the geniuses that work with this phenomenon that today this same level of concentration happens in homes, dorm rooms, and small business offices.

When you engage this level of concentration we all have a subliminally functioning brain system that will break your concentration with a startle if threat-movement is detected near you.

How close must the movement be? In offices it is in a traffic aisle beside the worker but if the movement is large enough it can be further away. Adequate lighting is needed and that is the limiting factor.

Since far peripheral vision detects only movement and position  any movement will do. It does not have to be human or alive. One of the bizarre but normal features of the physiology of sight is that stationary objects in far peripheral vision are invisible,

In a safe location you can learn to ignore movement around you so you can continue to work or function normally. The startle will stop. But no one has voluntary control over the primitive subliminally functioning brain system that detects the movement and begins or attempts the startle. Exposure cannot be detected by the victim.

Every time  movement is detected a startle will be attempted. But if  you consciously ignore movement around you the startle is blocked. Then subconscious attempts to make you startle will eventually color thought and reason creating fear, paranoia, panic attacks, depression, and thoughts of suicide. This cannot happen with a single exposure incident. Massive exposure is necessary.

I found a way to investigate it using the Internet. On the HOME page, VisionAndPsychosis.Net, there are four examples of exposure lengths in the 400 word introduction.

Testing involving Schizophrenia at the University of Georgia suggests there is  genetic predisposition for this problem. Those subjects had hyperactivity of the M-Channel for vision in the brain.  

My on-line psychology demonstration of subliminal sight and habituation in peripheral vision shows how exposure begins.

If you had the ability to evaluate movement before a startle the system would fail to warn you. The primitive system backfires when we sit, lost in thought, while others move around us. We evolved as hunter gathers
