Sk-etchbook

We had a lecture a while ago on presentation skills. There was some references made to body language and non verbal communication. It left me thinking how far this could be taken and would it be possible to affect another persons thought or even implant thoughts by using body movements and various other techniques. Now I think ethics would prevent me from actually using anything like this in presentations or new business meetings but I do personally find it intriguing.

To this end I started reading a Derren Brown book a few weeks ago. So far the book opened with some ranting about his history, his art & some of his views on various belief systems then the first chapter is about memory & this teaches various techniques like the Linking, Loci & Peg systems. These work incredibly well, I may post more about this at a later date but for now this leads nicely on to my next post...
