Relaxation Video

One of the goals people reach while
watching exterpassive video is relaxation. What we call "relaxation" is
most commonly referred to as "sub-conscious thinking" process. What kind
of video provokes such activity in greatest way? The answer is: the one
with lots of small elements moving across the screen.

Our mind gives higher priority to
processing visual signals. So, when there is no movement in our area of
sight (or there are movements of no significance), our mind starts
bringing inner images to our sight.

Once we perceive more visual elements
than we can consciously process, our mind switches to unconscious mode.
So the best way to stop processing recently received visual images is to
overload our perception with lots of non-significant visual elements. We
all know and use this method. We open the window and start staring at
the street as soon as we want to "think of nothing" or "consider
something". Many of us have noticed that natural objects, like rivers,
waterfalls or small gardens, strengthen the effect. That is why so many
of us have aquariums. Nothing significant is happening in the aquatic
world: fish are moving slowly and waterbed plants, too. We stare at
aquariums to overload conscious visual processing and let the mind do
some important thinking or rest a bit.

The same effect can be achieved when
watching live natural video on the computer screen. Moreover, this way
there is greater diversity in perceptions. We easily get used to the
view from the window or aquarium. This does not mean something went
wrong inside the image. However, our mind has completed processing all
significant visual information in the image and as nothing new happens,
it starts bringing un-conscious visual images to our sight, distracting
us from thinking. We may say the brain got tolerant to the image. There
is a way to diversify our perceptions, however. In case you see a new
picture every day, the visual tolerance does not develop too fast. So,
you can move to a new location each day or you can make your PC display
a new video sequence each day.

 Taking facts mentioned above into
account, we must say desktop video is not just another mean of
entertainment or relaxation for thinkers and decision makers. It is
rather a tool allowing for much more effective work. Exterpassive Video
is a technical solution intended to intensify brain work.

 People spending much time at the
computer (mostly creative thinkers and decision makers) easily
understand that watching exterpassive video as desktop wallpaper or
screensaver relaxes their tired mind and constitutes to effective
working.
