Eliminating Rogue Visual System Dominance to Restore Multisensory Integration and Normalize Perception during NeuroPhysics Treatment of Complex Psychophysical Disorders

Ken Ware

Abstract

The visual system is widely recognized as the dominant sensory modality in humans, significantly influencing perception and behavioral responses to the environment. This can give rise to the phenomenon known as visual dominance or visual capture, which occurs when visual information overrides inputs from other senses, shaping our overall sensory experience, perception and motor responses to all environmental stimuli [1,2]. Several decades of clinical practice in a NeuroPhysics Treatment environment has demonstrated that “rogue” visual system dominance, along with long-term posture neglect, has been a feature of all patients who presented with complex psychophysical and mental diseases and disorders. On the basis of this observation, a strategy was developed to appropriately calibrate visual, auditory and somatosensory systems to measurable environmental stimuli as a priority to significantly assist in the alleviation of often long-term debilitating symptoms patients presented with, regardless of genetic inheritance if applicable, and then to assist the patient to become more robust in these domains and less impervious to environmental perturbation. This paper discusses these strategies, the observations on which they are based, and the structures hypothesized to explain their efficacy.
