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.
