Thought Moments . . .

This is interesting . . . Thought Moments . . . a short film by Michael Simon Toon that explores eye accessing cues. Basically, the filmmaker goes around and asks random folks a series of ten questions and then maps the eye movements to a grid. Unfortunately, the grid being used is applied to everyone – as first generation Neurolinguistic Programming applied the grid and many trainers still foolishly teach students to memorize – when eye accessing cues only have validity when calibrated to individual response. By asking calibration questions to note movements, we get a much more useful map for each individual. Note that someo of the grid points in the video are labeled in such a way that they become almost useless without explanation. I teach influence in my communication courses as well as in various of my hypnocis courses and have an interest otherwise so the subject is quite the keeper. However, it is an interesting video and gives me some ideas for possibilities with my own students for projects regarding influence and persuasion and suggestion. I will certainly keep the link as the film is definately a keeper. You may want to pause the playback to let the entire piece download into your buffer before playing as I found it paused a lot on first try on my syestem due to netload.
