Your psoas connects your legs to your lower back and has insertions on 4 of your lumbar vertebra and your 12 th thoracic vertebra. With legs at 120 degrees the insertion of the Psoas on the 12th thoracic vertebra is engaged and this engagement intersects with the diaphragm, which is the major breathing muscle. Thus, your legs will pull on your diaphragm and cause optimal breath. If you accept Homer's concept of Thumos as soul-breath, and you use Kinect, you can use Xbox to synthesize your soul.

As for Pilates, I discuss how the whole body can be coordinated to facilitate breath. In the 100 Pilates position, you use your SternoCleidoMastoid to expand your ribcage. I was trying to progess Kutaragi's emotion synthesizer to a concept of soul synthesizer. I engage Homer's use of Thumos in the Iliad, and focus on Onians definition of the warm breath air as breath-soul. Pilates is about connecting the mind and body and he is afterall connected to the Greek heritage.

Hi,

This is Bill Guschwan. The last minutes of the Google talk was added after I did an ACM talk. The point of it is to talk about how to access emotions using your body as a controller ala Microsoft Kinect. The first studies of emotion showed that gesture was a simple form of emotion and I reference Giambattista Vico for that.

What the fuck happened at the end with Pilates? WTF?

[maverickgoose123]

lol what a weirdo fron 40:00 onward

[jpkushin]

How interesting anecdotes about Kutaragi and the PS1 devolve into new age mumbo jumbo is beyond me.

[robbhendrickson]

the connection is that the lecture is about the evolution of the "wow" factor in videogames that began w/ graphics and sound -- massive parallel co-processing will soon allow those 2 aspects to be indistinguishable from reality -- hence accessing emotions is the next "wow" target -- bill is proposing that pilates and meridian concepts suggest that the game should force players into body positions that elicit specific emotions.

I made a rap video, about all the consoles and games I've owned. search YouTube for "Dan Bull - Generation Gaming"

[golfii321]

chanlleging my hearing?? oh,no!

[greedyfoot]

Sheesh, construction's annoying, some drilling throughout, sounds like cell phone at first. But ending definitley a drill, with some hammering. And gaming as spirituality, odd, weird even. Leg lifts while breathing, so spiritual.

@greedyfoot I'm not calling you, trust me! I like your way of thinking, I just don't understand it. What do you mean by "And gaming as spirituality, odd, weird even. Leg lifts while breathing, so spiritual."? I haven't watched the video yet but I'm just curious as to what you mean. It sounds interesting.

cell phone vibration in the background

[xtat]

ok whos playing the ass tuba in the background

[JuanRomeroDotCH]

Watching it in high quality and cranking the volume way up worked for me.

[NexiiM]

Yeah the sound quality makes it quite hard to listen to.

[marcxie]

it's interesting, but the sound quality makes me hard to hear
