Sensory overload

Try to learn something about everything and everything about something. 

Sensory overload affects some people (Heller, 2002). Some people cut the tags from the inside of their clothes because the pricks or tickles they cause are intolerable. Others may stick a piece of paper over a blinking computer monitor icon. Or, some may run their air conditioners in November to drown out 

Premature infants are very sensitive to light, sound, and touch before their nervous systems mature. When overstimulated by any of these senses, the infants may stop breathing and turn blue due to lack of oxygen.

The experience of the subatomic world of UPAs is one of almost sensory overload In the three whorls flow currents of different electricities the seven vibrate in response to etheric waves of all kinds—to sound, light, heat, etc. they show the seven colors of the spectrum give out the seven sounds of the natural scale respond in a variety of ways to physical vibration—flashing, singing, pulsing bodies, they move incessantly, inconceivably beautiful and brilliant (1908, 7). 

How many model ontputs can be sent to the control system (DCS) while still avoiding sensory overload of process operators ... 

During the major loss of coolant incident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, 500 or more audio and visual warnings went off during the first minute of the incident sequence. Over 800 warnings occurred by the end of the second minute. Operators had sensory overload. They had trouble deciding which warning to act on first. The confusion contributed to the overall severity of the incident. 

Most software will allow multiple colors, fonts, and other features. Although their use may be tenpting, too many changes can be distracting to the readers and cause sensory overload. On slides, use only as many colors as will clarify your results. Most members of your audience will not be able to distinguish between subtle shades in the time available distinctions should be made with bold contrasts. However, one must not rely on color alone almost any report will be copied in black-and-white If your distinctions are not clear when the graphics are reproduced this way, there is a problem... 

Overloading interoceptors is an important technique for altering consciousness. A good massage, for instance, or sensory awareness exercises that make you aware of bodily stimuli normally overlooked, have been known to induce d-ASCs. At the opposite end of the continuum from this pleasurable kind of manipulation of Interoception, pain and torture are some of the surest ways of inducing d-ASCs. 

Environment Cold, heat, sensory deprivation, or overload and oxygen deprivation in high altitude can interact with medication. 

The apartment exploded into a blinding iridescent swirl. Every sensory channel splice into Gerald Skibbow s brain thrummed from overload. 

A 47-year-old woman developed progressive knee and back pain, weakness, paresthesia, sensory loss, ataxia, and falls. Physical, neurological, and neurophysiological examinations, T2-weighted MRI scans of the brain and spine, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and serum concentration measurements showed that she had a myeloneuropathy with anemia, due to copper deficiency, secondary to zinc overload associated with long-term use of denture cream with a high zinc content, which she... 

Murphy (2004) pointed out that human operators of robots deployed at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the September 2001 attacks relied entirely on using their visual sensory channel to extract information about the robots. As such, to enhance interaction and to prevent the human supervisor from being visually overloaded due to the volume of information presented visually, some information is also provided via the supervisor s auditory sensory chaimel. In this implementation, the GUI has been designed to present alerts in audio. Such alerts include coordination failures, the detection of victims, and the inability of a robot to autonomously plan a path to its goal wa5 oint. However, to make sure that the supervisor may...
