Mission
Create a learning experience yet known to man in an environment that is customary to that of a blockbuster movie, a production that cannot be remembered regardless of the frequency of viewing. Thus creating a production that is entertaining, mentally impossible to absorb and makes any video entertainment created to date look like child's play.
Assumptions:
•A merely adequate brain can remember if they watched a movie, or show within a relatively short period of time. Therefore the entertainment level or attention span decreases astronomically with frequency of viewing: Creating a story teller not a captive audience •Viewing more than once is an attempt to promote the excitement level received by the previously viewed audience to the audience who has not yet viewed, attempting to create a similar stimulation. This possibly accounts for 40% of all new revenues, story tellers/hypers/experience creators •Retention is correlated to the number of cranial nerves stimulated while experiencing the inbound information •The 13th cranial nerve/receptor is experience: The stored libraries and the perceived similarity to the chosen information stored during learning and correlation to one's history. It's the end result of the stimulation of all the cranial nerves. •Most movies and shows are watched one maybe two times •"Crash" is the only movie to date that one can find newness each time it is watched, however this is obvious to few •Entertainment today is focused on the cast, special effects, fantasy, and usually appeals to a specific demographic, promotion, sequel or cast following •Entertainment meets discovery channel surpasses the brains absorption capability meets perpetual stimulation with a single production that has vast monetary global knowledge building rewards •One song comes to mind that minutely touched this concept that took all of three minutes to complete but could have been expounded upon: Billy Joel - "We Did Not Start the Fire." This song could be rewritten for every year back to BC, for every year, for every month, for every day, for every minute known to man •The flow of information today created ADD. People are addicted to information. Watch CNN. One could be frustrated while reading the scroll bar located at the bottom of the screen and they cut to a commercial. One could propose that the text is delivered too slow or should remain displayed during commercial breaks •Uncomprehendable information bombardment is what we long for •A case for creating Overload Entertainment: 2 hour creations that took every mind in the human race to build yet has never been fully absorbed by a single being on earth: NEVER EVER! •Can the goal of this new form of entertainment be simply stimulate a single world-changing mind enough to set it free to propel the evolution of knowledge for society globally? •Tie the experience into idea sharing, blogs, think tanks, web based tests, communities, contests, patent law firms, venture capitalists, entrepreneurship, competitions, and the creation of a new society of intellects/specialists that will never see or learn the same.
The Experience
One screen broken into 12 frames •Imax theater initial release venue, Full circle •2 weeks Imax and 2 weeks traditional theater •Free tickets for information extrapolation and post viewing questionnaire •Stimulate all senses •No sound per frame just visual •40 beats per minute leading to 200 beats per minute at the end, energizing music (sponsors?) Mozart to Techno •Stars Wars ambiance •Temperature fluctuation in room-40 degrees to 90 degrees •Monsanto provides olfactory stimulation •Every 20 minutes a 2 minute tranquility break to give the mind a chance to absorb, complete darkness-meditation (Ocean waves) •Every language by dictionary with origination country language correlated equivalent •Past channel •Future channel •Discovery channel •History channel •Politics channel •Technology channel •Creation Channel •Essentially the rapid display of all earthly and potential information, condensed into 2 hours with all absorption receptors being stimulated-------600+ frames per second.
The Brain's Receptors
Olfactory Nerve - Cranial Nerve 1
The olfactory nerve is essentially responsible for the sense of smell. It courses along the base of the frontal lobes and perforates through the base of the skull and rests inside the roof of the nose. Recently, these nerves have received additional interest because of their potential for involvement in the harvest of naturally existing stem cells. Optic Nerve - Cranial Nerve 2
The optic nerve is responsible for vision. The sight/light/vision is reflected from the object through the lens of the eye and focused onto the retina (nerve cells in the back of the eye.) From here, the information is taken through the optic nerves and eventually into the back of the brain in a region called the occipital lobe.
The processing of the information before reaching the brain is very interesting. Before the vision information even reaches the brain, the signal from the eyes crosses in a part of the optic nerve called the optic chiasm. The result of this is such that the entire right visual field is seen by the left occipital lobe and vice versa. Thus, half of each eyes vision goes to the opposite brain. Figure 2: The two circles below represent the vision seen by both eyes. Initially, both the right and the left optic nerve record and take back to the brain 2 colors - black and yellow. After the fibers cross in the optic chiasm, only the yellow picture from each eye is returned to the left occipital lobe and only the black picture is returned to the right occipital lobe. Oculomotor, Trochlear, and Abducens Nerve - Cranial Nerve 3, 4, and 6
Together, the Oculomotor, Trochlear, and Abducens Nerve move the eye in many directions. The oculomotor nerve is the most diverse. It is responsible for moving each eye towards the nose, up, down, and external rotation. Additionally, it is responsible for shrinking the size of the pupil and allow less light to enter the eye. A problem with the oculomotor nerve might result in double vision when looking at near object and cause trouble when reading. The trochlear nerve is responsible for internal rotation of the eye. A problem with this nerve often is noticed by the patient as they have trouble walking down stairs. Finally, the abducens nerve is responsible for moving each eye temporally - or away from the nose. A problem with the sixth nerve results in double vision on looking at distant objects. Figure 3 - Two eyes and a nose and arrows showing how the 3rd, 4th, and 6th cranial nerves move the eyes as described above. Trigeminal Nerve - Cranial Nerve 5
The trigeminal nerve is one of the largest cranial nerves. It also has many functions. The entire sensation from the face, the forehead, the cheeks, and the jaw are returned to the brain from the three different divisions of this nerve. Facial Nerve - Cranial Nerve 7
The facial nerve is responsible for moving most of the muscles of the face. It helps us to smile, raise an eyebrow, wrinkle the forehead, puff our cheeks, straighten our neck muscles in order to shave, and sometimes even to wiggle our ears. Interestingly, enough, the taste from the front 2/3 of the tongue is transmitted to the brain from the facial nerve and parts of the facial nerve aids in allowing the salivary glands to secrete their fluid to assist in chewing and digestion. Auditory Nerve - Cranial Nerve 8
Another name for the auditory nerve is the vestibulo-cochlear nerve. It is so called this because it serves 2 purposes. The hearing or sound information is transmitted back to the brain through the cochlear nerve and the balance information is transmitted through the vestibular portion of the nerve. There is a fairly well known tumor although misnamed called an Acoustic Neuroma which arises from this nerve. It is misnamed because this commonly benign tumor actually arises from the vestibular nerve and is not a nerve tumor as the name implies. Glossopharyngeal and Vagus Nerve - Cranial Nerve 9,10
The functions of the glossopharyngeal and the vagus nerve are too many to list. In essence, these two nerves take to and from the brain information regarding swallowing, taste, voice, organ function, heart rate, abdominal function, etc. In fact, vagus means wandering in Latin. The vagus nerve actually starts from the brain and is continuous all the way through and even reaches the intestines. Since there are so many functions of this nerve, the signal from the body also have to be returned to many parts of the brain through the same nerve as well. Interestingly, it was discovered that this nerve could serve as a conduit through which to treat epilepsy - or seizures. A neurosurgeon can surgically wrap and electrode around this nerve and connect it to a pacemaker device which can then be used to treat epilepsy in some patients. Accessory Nerve - Cranial Nerve 11
The accessory nerve is responsible for turning the head, nodding yes and no, and shrugging the shoulders. Specifically, it controls the muscles called the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius. Since this nerve controls head turning and is a cranial nerve - as opposed to a spinal nerve, the motion of turning the head is typically preserved in patients who injure their spinal cords. Hypoglossal Nerve - Cranial Nerve 12
The hypoglossal nerve is responsible for the complex movements of the tongue. There is some help from the vagus nerve but three of the four main tongue muscles are controlled from the hypoglossal nerve.
