sensorial

People yearn to fantasize, break away from reality, new sensorial experiences etc. If VR offers that at good prices it'll be an explosion.

I applaud the effort to bring hardware / sensorial innovation on handheld devices, but yeah the 3D ended up in the gimmick bag. The only time people turn it on is to show how it is to newcomers so they understand why they turn it off.

Moreover, nothing prevents you to couple this impressive captor with any other device that would provide you with other sensorial feedbacks. And why narrowing it down to a control device?

Immediately recognized the venue from the photo, which triggered some sensorial cues in my body. Essential part of a good meeting in Geneva.

Yes it seems the claustrum integrates all your sensorial input, I'd also really like to know more about the subjective experience of it being switched off.

¹ As far as I remember, the dinosaur neurons didn't had myelin, which for some large animals caused non-trivial sensorial delay.

The limit is much higher than we think it is today, as expressed by several cases of enhanced sensorial perception, like remote viewing, as disclosed in CIA papers for example. But it's still limited;

"I think the sensorial and perceptual presence of the learning materials is very important -- apps are not a sufficient substitute." I have wondered if a custom touchscreen setup could be designed to make this easier.

For some people this might be great but for me this is a total sensorial overload, I tried to use some of these fonts in the past and I just loose track of the code. Did anyone experience the same in the begging and grew to actually like these fonts or was it always a "love at first sight" experience for you that use them?

That isn't to say that I am not aware of my internal thinking, it is mostly abstract/conceptual, visual/sensorial. Having said that, I am somewhat introverted and never felt that expressing my thoughts into words sounded like it was in my head, especially with written word.

You also realise just how much sensorial input our mind processes at any point and how much of reality is filtered away automatically. I had just a couple of instances when I really 'floated away' for maybe a couple of seconds, but then my mind would always jump back and take control of the situation.

Having watched them interact with apps on the iPad, I think the sensorial and perceptual presence of the learning materials is very important -- apps are not a sufficient substitute.

Humans will also prefer axiomatic systems / problem spaces that have some match to their sensorial systems, and the sensorial systems are shaped by the physical world. That being said, we are not too far from embodied computers, coming online soon as autonomous cars and autonomous killer drones.

I always say that any use of screens, given their captivating mimetic and sensorial nature, should be preceded by a clear intention regarding what will they be used for. Moreover, I wholeheartedly agree on the fact that electronic devices--any kind of devices, really--should only be used for as long as they are required to accomplish the task at hand, which has ben decided a priori.

Few people would ever need to use at once all parts of the brain for all possible processing needs like all types of sensorial input processing, all types of memory memory, all types or reasoning, empathy, multitasking, etc. So they'll use a few at a time.

The resting-places are usually occupied by sensorial imaginations of some sort, whose peculiarity is that they can be held before the mind for an indefinite time, and contemplated without chainging; the places of flight are filled with thoughts of relations, static or dynamic, that for the most part obtain between the matters contemplated in the periods of comparative rest... The rush of the thought is so headlong that it almost always brings us up at the conclusion before we can arrest it.
