	Alexander Technique Simplified: The Complete Encyclopedia Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Alexander Technique is an educational discipline practiced to prevent the physical decline caused by habituated mannerisms.
		The medium of study is the sense of kinesthesia or proprioception, which is the sense used to internally calibrate one's own bodily location, weight and to judge the effort necessary for moving.
		Our sensory system becomes flooded from trying to do too many contradicting habits.

	Alexander Technique
		The medium of study is one's own sense of kinesthesia or proprioception, which is the sense used to internally calibrate one's own bodily location, weight and to judge the effort necessary for moving.
		It was later referred to as sensory adaptation by behavioral scientists.
		In keeping with the sensory adaptation principle, customary kinesthetic orientation and preparation assummed necessary is repeatedly noted to be unnecessary.

		One of the most complex and culturally bound of all the human senses is the human sense of taste.
		Although we accept certain aspects of visual sensory data as ‘fact’—as in, ‘I know it when I see it,’ and attempt to correct an absence of hearing sensory data through hearing aids and implants,...
		This paper will discuss specific responses to different experiments in sensory perception that relate to the adaptation, and describe the systems that receive sensory information in these experiments.

		Fidone's research is focused on the mechanisms of signal transduction and sensory adaptation by preneural receptor cells and afferent nerve terminals in mammalian arterial chemoreceptor organs.
		A variety of neurochemical, immunocytochemical, electrophysiological and molecular biological techniques are used to elucidate the cellular signaling properties of these chemosensory cells.
