Covert Cinemorphics

The term Covert Cinemorphics can refer to a variety of applications of the Cinemorphic methodology, but two very useful and effective ones are…

1. Covert Rehearsal, which refers to the practice of performing a behavior “in your head” rather than actually…secretly rather than in the open. It has been demonstrated that this technique, which uses imagery, visualization, sensory imagination, etc. can be effective in improving sports performance, musical performance, getting rid of phobias, getting over shyness, etc…a valuable tool for re-writing and re-enacting your self.

2. Covert Third Party Conditioning (Shaping), which refers to re-writing and modifying somebody else’s behavior rather than your own. This type of conditioning, of course, was used on you as a child by your parents, and later by your peers and culture to shape who you became before you realized that you could consciously deconstruct, the reconstruct your self. Everyone does this all the time unconsciously…in marriages, working relationships, child rearing, etc., but it is possible to use the techniques of positive and negative reinforcement, successive approximation , aversion training, etc. consciously to fix some problem or just to play. Of course, manipulating someone else’s behavior just for the fun of it raises ethical questions, but is evident on various scales throughout our society…think ad campaigns, political propaganda, Facebook manipulating emotions by varying what’s in our news feeds, etc.

The Baobah Sessions

Edwina and I just got back to San Francisco from a very successful two week Cinemorphics seminar and workshop at what I am now thinking of as the Baobah Art & Physics Labs (my take on Baobah Novas Formas de Inteligência) in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Watch for exciting game changing developments and projects coming from Baobah Director Jussara Figueira and her team, Ana Ciscato, Claudia Passos, Emmanuel Bohrer Junior, Glaucia Grigolo, Marisa Naspolini and Ramon Noro (all pictured). Quite a group!
