Spatial presence is a state in which media users temporarily overlook the mediated nature of their experience.This study discusses stimulus-dependent structure in spontaneous eye-blink behavior as an alternative to presence selfreport measures. To this end, theories and empirical evidence on presence, spontaneous eye-blink behavior, and existing approaches for presence assessment are used to link antecedent processes of presence, especially attention, to presence and structure in blinking behavior.Three experiments in different media environments relate three different methods for quantification of stimulus-dependent structure to an established presence scale. The results are not conclusive, but raise questions on presence and its measurement, and advance the understanding of stimulus-dependent structure in spontaneous eye-blink behavior.

NEW AGE / NUMEROLOGY "Michael Brill has a great talent for bridging allied worlds of symbolism." --Lynn Andrews, author of Writing Spirit and the Medicine Woman series Numbers and letters are the blueprints of our lives. By studying the patterns they create--whether it's a name, an address, or a date--we can learn more about ourselves, others, and how to best interact with those around us. Providing simple numeric exercises that use only the first vowel and first consonant of a person's name and their birth month and day, Michael Brill shows how to identify anyone's reactive and proactive behavior patterns--along with their underlying causes--to prevent and resolve interpersonal issues as well as recognize and change our own negative personal tendencies. Combining numerology with psychology, he explains the connection between the first name and behavior at work, the middle name and social-emotional patterns in relationships, and the last name and family dynamics. Illustrating how this information can be applied by managers, educators, health professionals, sales people, and parents, he reveals how to find anyone's personal challenges and greatest strengths through their achievement number as well as how to use this number for a more accurate understanding of an individual's behavior patterns. Offering extensive examples, interpretations, and exercises, he reveals how recognizing these facets of our behavior is the first step to working through our negative patterns and effecting personal transformation. MICHAEL BRILL, a numerologist since 1985, has worked with schools, businesses, and government, including ten years with the aerospace industry and two years with NASA. The author of Numerology for Healing and Know Your Numbers, Know Your Self, he lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

NEW AGE / PERSONAL GROWTH "Michael Brill takes numerology to a place it has never been before." --Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life "Michael Brill's Numerology for Healing has become a welcome addition to my practice, giving me a fresh and unique perspective on the relationship between behavior and health issues, and my patients have been the beneficiaries." --Robert S. Stein, doctor of chiropractic In Numerology for Healing, Michael Brill uses his system of Cosmic Numerology--which combines numerology with psychology, quantum physics, and the concepts of gematria and reincarnation--to create a unique approach to healing emotional and physical problems. Humans suffer from a profound sense of abandonment when the soul is decanted from the Universal Oneness into the confines of a personality. Brill explains how this sense of abandonment manifests itself in two principal types of behavior: people work to be loved and appreciated for who they are, or they try to control and micromanage their lives and relationships so that nothing goes wrong. Both of these behavior patterns are exhausting physically, emotionally, and mentally and are clear catalysts for illness. Brill details more than 200 physical and mental health conditions and their associated symptoms and shows how to identify and treat the causes--from addictions and Alzheimer's disease to thyroid problems, heart failure, and cancer. For instance, he reveals that, in general, illnesses beginning with the letter A (acne and alcoholism) have issues of self-esteem as one of the basic causes, whereas illnesses beginning with letter G (gallstones and glaucoma) are associated with a need to be in control, in relationships or at work. By using the numerology of your birth date and name, Numerology for Healing makes it easy to identify your positive and negative tendencies and characteristics and to use them as the key to achieving a healthier life.
