Transmedia Storytelling - Crisis Simulations

The 2012 Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting was at the opening night of Batman: The Dark Knight Rises.

Here’s a photo of the man charged and convicted. He appeared to be very high on some government issued drugs during the court proceedings. And that hair! Very strange.

Six years prior to the Aurora event (in 2006, at age 18), Holmes gave this presentation with respect to “Flash Programming” - in the context of writing code for movies. His mentor at the Salk Institute was John Jacobson, who was studying how the neural coding of brightness (as in light flashes/luminance) could influence time perception (think pulsating lights of aurorae, and perhaps augmenting reality via light/temporal illusion).

Congratulations to Cristin Welle, PhD, assistant professor in neurosurgery and bioengineering, on receiving a $2 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to pilot the use of peripheral neuromodulation to accelerate motor learning. The grant, which will be received over four years, comes from the DARPA Biological Technologies Office through the Targeted Neuroplasticity Training program, led by Tristan McClure-Begley, PhD, who had been on the CU Boulder faculty prior to joining DARPA in October 2017. The goals of this project are to understand the effects of precisely timed stimulation of the vagus nerve during motor learning on motor performance, and to utilize optogenetics, electrophysiology and in vivo two-photon imaging to investigate the mechanisms that underlie this effect. This work could lead to translational opportunities using invasive or non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation to improve rehabilitation from stroke or to drive enhancements in the learning and performance of skilled tasks.

More with respect to encoded culture, military simulation, and augmented reality - in the context of James Holmes and DC Comics’ The Dark Knight (Batman/Joker) . . .

A paper co-authored by John Jacobson (James Holmes’ mentor at Salk Institute):

“Explaining why the perceived brightness of a flash is modified by temporal relationships with its neighbors: The commitment, adaptation, and comparison model” (emphasis added to attempt to demonstrate connection below - blurring the lines between DC Comics and “real” life - a là transmedia storytelling)

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/245611904_Explaining_why_the_perceived_brightness_of_a_flash_is_modified_by_temporal_relationships_with_its_neighbors_The_commitment_adaptation_and_comparison_model

The takeaway is that we are aware of of brightness changes, and these visual changes get perceived neurologically, which then changes our experience of temporal events. A briefly presented FLASH can result in temporal asynchrony (altered time perception).

Jacobson’s co-author, David Eagleman:

What DC Comics family of characters comes to mind when we hear flashes of light and temporal distortion?

The Allen family - Barry Allen and Bart Allen (Barry’s grandson - AKA Impulse)

Attachment-1-48

Referring back to James Holmes’ courtroom image - do you see an underlying template echoed in the images of DC Comics’ Bart Allen?

In 2017, it was reported that Holmes was transferred to a high-security federal prison in Pennsylvania called Penitentiary Allenwood. (See the Allen?)

We study the molecular bases of circadian timekeeping mechanism in mammals. We intend to understand the mechanism of light perception by specialized light sensitive ganglion cells of the retina which photo-entrain the master circadian oscillator resident in the hypothalamic SCN. We also want to understand the regulatory mechanisms which maintain a near 24 hours molecular rhythm in core oscillator components, and generate rhythms in gene function that ultimately produce several overt rhythms in physiology and behavior. (my emphasis)

Presently, there is an ongoing media story about Ezra Miller - the offspring of Robert (Bob) Miller (of Disney-Hyperion) - paralleling the notions of mental health, jail time, and The Flash (as invoked 10 years ago in the 2012 James Holmes Aurora, CO story, which I detailed above). Note that the Ezra Miller stories consistently weave in temporal messaging (ie - timeline, chronology, snowballing).

Encoded in this pop culture narrative, I see the imprinting of twinning - as it seems there may be a resemblance between Ezra Miller (who plays DC Comics Barry Allen) and James Holmes (whom I perceive as a real-life symbolic depiction of DC comics Bart Allen, Barry Allen’s grandson).

Note: Robert Miller’s Hyperion published Bad Twin in May 2006 - the same year that James Holmes presented his talk about his work with Flash Programming (coding for movies) at the Salk Institute, under the auspices of John Jacobson (video linked above).




Plenty of Batman/Joker messaging has bubbled to the surface with this story…

On neuroscientist David Eagleman referenced above…

“David Eagleman may be the best combination of scientist and fiction-writer alive.” ~ Stewart Brand

Moving forward - in the context of transmedia storytelling - I think we need to keep an eagle eye on Eagleman…Do you think he knows precisely how color (specifically, magenta) influences the human brain?

Often called the Carl Sagan of neuroscience, he’s the scientific advisor on HBO’s Westworld, a bestselling author, and host of the new documentary The Creative Brain, now streaming on Netflix. Whether he’s expounding on the careful balance between routine and novelty, or how leaders can embrace risk and disruption, he provides a vivid, inspiring take on cultivating the right attitude for discovery. As the host of PBS’ Emmy-nominated series The Brain, Eagleman was the charismatic tour guide through the most impressive series—in content and dazzling style—ever produced on neuroscience. A Guggenheim Fellow and winner of the McGovern Award for Excellence in Biomedical Communication, he’s also traded jokes with Stephen Colbert and been featured in Italy’s Style magazine.

Eagleman’s accolades—both popular and academic—prove his rare ability to make advanced science relevant, accessible, and fun. The Director of the Center of Science and Law, Eagleman is also the founder of BrainCheck, an exciting new app that test neurocognitive functions. Named a Science Educator of the Year by the Society of Neuroscience, he is also a research fellow in the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. His talk at TED on creating new senses for humans—illustrated by his original invention, the VEST (Versatile Extra-Sensory Transducer), which translates sounds into vibrations for deaf users—earned him a standing ovation on the main stage.

His widely celebrated books include New York Times bestseller Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain and The Brain: The Story of You, of which Stephen Fry says, “on every page there is a revelation so fantastic as to make one gasp.” His short fiction collection SUM was translated into 27 languages, and inspired U2 producer Brian Eno to write twelve new pieces of music, which they performed together at the Sydney Opera House. Recently, Eagleman’s critically acclaimed digital book Why The Net Matters was updated and reissued as an e-book (and audiobook) called The Safety Net: Surviving Pandemics and Other Disasters. In it, he reveals why the advent of the Internet has helped us sidestep the existential threats—from pandemics and natural disasters, to political corruption and economic meltdown—that have brought down previous civilizations. Regardless of the audience, Eagleman can unpack the full range of applications (for memory, business, decision-making, technology, education, the law, and more) we get from a more nuanced understanding of the brain—and make it fun. (my emphasis).

As humans, we can perceive less than a ten-trillionth of all light waves. “Our experience of reality,” says neuroscientist David Eagleman, “is constrained by our biology.” He wants to change that. His research into our brain processes has led him to create new interfaces to take in previously unseen information about the world around us.

Fascinating comment and information. Really appreciate all of this. My partner and I have been watching the newer Dark Crystal series which is a prequal to the 80s dark crystal movie by Jim Henson of the Muppets.

There’s alot going on in the show/movie. The life essence of the home planet Thra is held by the “crystal of truth” which becomes controlled by the “Skeksis” who use it to dominate the planet, drain the life essence of other life forms, and drink it for immortality.

The older one has a really beautiful design and I would recommend it just for the ascetics.

Guess its not directly related to the posts above, but just wanted to share

Exactly Alison, that is why I trust the words you and your friends speak. You use none of this transmedia trickery. The alt media is full of it and makes it easy for me to weed out the psyops. The first few seconds is telling and if it continues I know for sure.

Do you have any insights to the effects this transmedia subluminal trickery had on the minds of people who bough in this latest real-estate buying frenzy. Something I have never seen in my life time. Talking mainly about here on the west coast of Canada where real estate prices doubled in five years. For example a house worth $600,000.00 is now worth $1,200,000.00. All happening within the midst of a scary fake pandemic no less. Did the scary subliminal images, audio etc hitting them 24/7 make them act irrational? Were they made to believe that certain places in North American were the safest places to live to safe guard against dying from this fake pathogen? Mind boggling indeed!

Thank you Stephers, the YouTube video is awesome, which adds to everything else you are so graciously alerting us too.

Empires party specialists coming to a place near you, to prey on your young adolescent children.
Transmedia and close to home. Not sure if there are other young party scientists in your neck of the woods, but I would pay attention to what is happening at these events if they are. I know this young man very well who runs a party specialist company out of Vancouver BC. This person by the name of Jacque who is the son of good friends and was a good friend of my son. He is an extremely bright 25 year old. The skipping grade 12 type to be excepted into university. In the past three years he has left university to embark on this new venture. Apparently starting it on his own from out of the blue . As I dug deeper I noticed he has connections to this organization called rockdoc https://rockdocinc.ca/about/#team. Here is Jacque’s Linkedin profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/thepartyscientist My gut feeling is that this rockdoc organization is steering these party events with Empire lurking in the background. Using my friend’s son as the messenger to send transmedia subliminal messages to the “YOUNG” nondrinking, nondrug taking super urban target group.
There could be other rockdocs near you organizing these urban nondrinking party events.
All the transmedia markings are easily spotted. The flashing lights, the techno music, etc, etc and of course the magenta!

Here are some links to observe, which got me thinking:

The magenta / emerald green logo is to obvious not to take notice. This is backed by Empire for sure. Empire chooses these bright ones who are good public speakers. Not sure if Jacque fully grasps what he is part of. It is a shame to have one of our best and brightest reduced to nothing more than one of Empires dancing bears.

RE: David Eagleman and Synesthesia (and Eagleman’s colleague, Richard Cytowic)

I am leaving some placeholders here, intending to circle back to them later (as well as expand with further additions)…

I suggest synesthesia is immensely important to W0RLDBU1LD1NG/culture creation/augmenting reality (including the magenda) and permeates (subliminally) transmedia storytelling strategies via artificial induction…

SUPER IMPORTANT

Start at the 5:00 timestamp…Do you see the Mickey Mousing/Mickey Mouse template? Do you see the symbology of neurons/dendrites? How about any Luna moth/pupa encoding? (Magenta infusion at the 1:27 timestamp)

Take something like “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor,” for example, which starts simply as flashes of light and basic abstractions before slowly finding form. That’s the piece which opens Fantasia , not “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” And why? Because it opens the mind, especially the youthful mind, to experience sounds, both tonal and atonal, not simply as music but as color. And seeing music as color tingles the same part of the brain that causes the kind of synesthesia where we associate a color or a number with a taste or even a personality. That’s the real potency within Fantasia 's dramatic, animated presentation.

I posted these news articles below on optogenetics as a form of ‘threat tech’ in the sense of transmedia immersion—the original post includes more about transgene viral vectors for delivering these light sensors directly to neurons (use of SV40 ‘monkey’ virus, AAV adeno-associated virus, and TMV tobacco mosaic virus). Here’s the biological adjustment bureau at work, giving you real feel synergy!

[edited]

Optogenetics is essentially the study of light-sensitive proteins called opsins. Dr. Karl Deisseroth of Stanford, developer of the science of optogenetics and a practicing psychiatrist, found his experimental opsins in green algae: “In the summer of 2004, Deisseroth opened his own lab at Stanford and hired a brilliant PhD student named Feng Zhang… to do the delicate work of introducing the pond-scum opsin into a brain cell. The opsin would have to be smuggled into the cell using a virus, but at a concentration that would not kill the neuron… Zhang chose a benign lentivirus…[and] After a year of experiments, the team had created the world’s first reliable technology for generating light-sensitive neurons that signaled at the speed of the brain… Finally, they devised a means for attaching small bits of DNA to the opsins, which acted like a password, insuring that they would be produced only in the correct cells. Then they had to figure out a way to deliver flashes of light to regions deep inside the brain, and settled for a fiber-optic wire attached to a laser diode. In late 2005, they began…tests to see if they could control behavior in mice”… [and came up with a ‘joystick mouse’]

“The invention of optogenetics greatly accelerated the pace of progress in brain science. But experimenters were limited by the difficulty of delivering light deep into brain tissue. Now ultrathin, flexible microchips, each one hardly bigger than a neuron, are being tested as injectable devices to put nerves under wireless control. They can be inserted deep into a brain…”

Using Light to deliverTouch:

March 2012– “We have recently generated… transgenic lines of rat in which …some neurons were endowed with photosensitivity by the introduction of the ChR2 gene, coding an algal photoreceptor molecule… We identified that ChR2 is expressed in a certain population of large neurons in the DRG [dorsal root ganglion]…[and] were classified as mechanoreceptive… Each…rat showed a sensory-evoked behavior in response to blue LED flashes on the plantar skin. It is thus suggested that each rat acquired an unusual sensory modality of sensing blue light through the skin as touch-pressure.”

Is it possible that one could hear light, smell light, taste light and touch light? When ChR2 [algal opsin] is targeted to different peripheral sensory neurons by viral vectors… the animals can sense the light as various sensations such as hearing, touch, pain, [etc.].”


Effect on memories:

2009 –…“Wolfson Institute…at University College London [has] developed a way to activate a small subset of the neural circuit that underlies a specific memory… The researchers took advantage of a gene called c-fos, which is expressed by recently activated neurons, and used the portion that controls gene expression to turn on the light-sensitive protein channelrhodopsin…” http://www.bioedonline.org/news/nature-news/total-recall-achieved/

2016 –At MIT “Tonegawa’s lab has identified cells in the brain’s hippocampus that store specific memories. The researchers have also shown that they can manipulate these memory traces, or engrams, to plant false memories, activate existing memories, or alter a memory’s emotional associations. ‘Lost’ memories can be found – CLINICALNEWS.ORG
