Topic: Tachistoscope

	Tachistoscope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tachistoscope is a device that displays (usually by projecting) an image for a specific amount of time.
		The actual tachistoscopes used a slide or transparency projector equipped with the mechanical shutter system typical of a camera.
		The first tachistoscope was originally described by physiologist Volkmann in 1859.

	Renshaw and the Tachistoscope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Renshaw claims that through the use of a super-fast timing mechanism, he has been able to achieve flashes on the tachistoscope screen that can be measured in millionths of a second, and that two students have been able to grasp nine-digit numbers at 3/1,000,000 of a second.
		He said that work with word passages and the tachistoscope is of no value to his clinic except in helping word-by-word readers to realise that they can read by phrases.
		Sommerfeld attributed any gains in reading speed after tachistoscope techniques to the secondary factors that Dr. Leestma mentions (this sounds almost as incestuous as the bibliographies in flying saucer books which cheerfully spend their time citing each other as authorities), especially an increase in the desire to read.

	How to Develop A Photographic Memory
		In World War II, one method used to help gunners speed up their aircraft identification skills was to flash photographs on a screen of the planes they had to recognize.
		The writer did not have access to a tachistoscope but decided to try an alternate technique for seeing the retained images.
		It may be that that tachistoscope simulation near the top of this page, if viewed in a darkened environment, may provide a usable indicator of the process being discussed.

	Danger: Mind Controllers At Work!
		Initially this work was done with the assistance of a "tachistoscope", a machine which times the insertion and duration of each subliminal frame, but the crude tachistoscope has one major drawback.
		Anyone able to gain access to the film or television tapes and play then back at slow speed, would immediately see the inserted subliminal frames as individual entities, and be able to study their subliminal content at leisure.
		Where the older tachistoscope was jerky and only partly efficient, the new 'low light' system proved to be a control revolution.

	WordUp - a java-based tachistoscope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Recently I came across references on the web to a machine called a tachistoscope, a device for flashing up a series of images at great speed.
		Although originally designed by the US Air Force to help train pilots to recognise enemy aircraft, tachistoscopes were used in early attempts to train people to speed read.
		Because the images (or text) always appear in the same place, the viewer's eyes do not have to move to read the next word, thus greatly reducing the amount of time wasted while the eyes refocus.

		Tachistoscopic training, also known a Flash Recognition Training (FRT), is a perceptual enhancement technique designed to improve the recall of visual information.
		This article briefly reviews the history of the tachistoscope and some of the research that supports the efficacy of the tachistoscope as a diagnostic and training device.
		Its uses in optometry, law enforcement and military training and as a research tool in psychology are discussed, along with its application to sports vision.

		The Center for Human Factors Research in Transportation has a portable tachistoscope which has been used to evaluate the usability of aviation charts.
		The tachistoscope is linked to a laptop computer which keeps track of when and, for how long, the shutter was open.
		The Center also has a three projector tachistoscope used primarily for preliminary readability testing.

		Acronym for Bryce Carlson's book Blackjack for Blood.
		This is an ingenious device for speed reading cards based on the principles of a tachistoscope.
		It is comprised of a viewing tube and a card-sliding tray and may be helpful for players alert enough to spot cards accidentally flashed by a dealer.
