If you want to understand the power of this phenomenon,
remember the paranoid psychotic rant of Seng-Hui Cho.
The Virginia Tech shooter had created
the "special circumstances" for exposure.
When he had the expected mental event,
he planned then killed 32 people.

Gabrielle Giffords Shooting
Jared Lee Laughner shooter
The little information available suggests that this shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, a student, and former video game player, has the same causation as the Virginia Tech shooter.
His ranting and bizarre postings say he has a serious thought and reasoning problem typical of Subliminal Distraction exposure.
Persons with this problem function normally. But they have a belief system that severely contradicts some aspect of normal reality.
These mass murder events happen around the world but get the most press here in the United States.
In 2008 a video game playing temp worker in Japan rented a two ton truck, drove it into a crowd, jumped out and stabbed seventeen killing seven. Had this Arizona shooter used other methods he might have had a higher body count.
This site is about a little known problem discovered when it caused mental breaks for office workers. The cubicle solved that problem by 1968. None of the designers and engineers who work in Systems Furniture, cubicles, has realized this is a problem of human physiology not office work space. The office was just the first place the phenomenon was discovered.
There is circumstantial evidence that this phenomenon has precipitated many of the mass killing events.
For Laughner to be a Subliminal Distraction victim there must be a place or places for exposure. That might be the location of his home computer. This will not be investigated unless there is an outcry for the police to do this.
I have a request with OSHA for over a year to have this problem investigated and made public.
If you want to stop these mass shooting events call your congress person and demand they investigate Subliminal Distraction.
The problem? Most can't believe the mental health community has missed this simple common problem.

Introductory site text and links.
This site is about a conflict of human physiology that shaped history but was undetected until the 1960's.
In the entire history of man on the planet Earth this phenomenon was discovered only once.
It caused mental breaks for office workers.
You will find this material hard to believe.
This phenomenon is explained in first semester psychology lectures where students don't believe it either.
For that reason I wrote a demonstration that will allow you to experience the phenomenon.
The Everquest Connection page has the explanation and assumes you have not taken basic psychology.
The solution for this problem was the office Cubicle.
This site argues that the this phenomenon causes College Suicides and Missing Students.
The phenomenon causes mental events around the world, Chaco Canyon.
If you use computers in unprotected workspace such as homes, dorms, student apartments, and small business offices read ...Prevention... at the bottom of most pages.

When
Pekka-Eric Auvinen put his computer beside a closet door mirror his brain could
detect threat-movement from his mirror image.
He planned, joined a shooting club so he could buy a handgun, then killed eight before committing suicide.
Like Loughner he also posted YouTube video and bizarre text messages.
Prevention: This section is
now repeated at the bottom of every page.
The
rare occurrence of the injury establishes that is difficult to create enough
exposure to cause an injury. But when it does happen the consequences are
serious, possibly fatal.
Our
personal experience was intermittent human traffic during eight-hour workdays
for thirty calendar days.
If
you have a tower CPU mount it under your desk. That's the way they position it
in a cubicle. The hard drive busy light is about the height of your low
peripheral vision if you put the tower on the desk. Desktop reading of text or
writing notes beside the keyboard on the side of the monitor away from the tower
makes the blinking hard drive busy light appear to approach from behind when you
turn to view the screen again.
If
you have a computer work station/desk in which you turn ninety degrees to write
or do other non computer work, turn off the monitor when you turn aside. Remove
screen savers in this instance. The movement, animation for example, in your
screensaver, two-dimensional movement, might well be detected by your peripheral
vision at close range. Alternately cover the monitor screen.
All
home, apartment, or dorm computer workstations are in unprotected workspace.
To change that put the computer in a quiet room with no possible movement. If
that is not possible in a dorm or apartment position the computer so that your
peripheral vision can see only stationary walls as you use the computer in a
busy room. In Cubicles and 'Systems Furniture' these protective features are
achieved with peripheral vision blocking panels and corner seating positions. It
is called 'Cubicle Level Protection.'
If
you use computer or CD-ROM games for many hours day after day, the game playing
position should follow the same rules as the computer workstation. Battery
operated games will not run long enough on a single rechargeable battery to
cause a risk for SPVP.
Although
a laptop does not have a visible blinking light in peripheral vision the same
rules apply to your work position. There
should not be human traffic moving to you from behind. There should be nothing
behind you, which could enter your subliminal peripheral vision field as you
turn your head while working at the laptop and be mistaken for threat movement.
Only
movement coming from behind you into your Subliminal Peripheral Vision can cause
a peripheral vision reflex. If the movement source approaches you from ahead
then enters your Subliminal Peripheral Vision from conscious sight there can be
no peripheral vision reflex.
Repeated
for Emphasis:
A
single session or rare sessions will not cause this problem.
It
is the same day after day long hours of play or computer use with detectable
movement in ‘Subliminal Peripheral Vision,’ which would form the basis of a
risk for SPVP injury.
The brain’s detection system only evaluates movement. There is little recognition of the nature of the object in peripheral vision. If you have several hours exposure from human traffic at the library, while reading at an open table or seated in a reading room chair, followed by long hours watching TV with a critically misplaced ceiling fan sweeping detectable shadows around the room, the combination of those two behaviors might cause the problem. The suggestion is that either activity alone would not consume enough exposure time even if the critical movement is present.

In the 1950's and 1960's a group of business men saw a way to build a new business by designing moveable close-spaced office workstations. Research was done involving designers, engineers, and scientists working in human factors that would impact design.
(Haworth introduced the first room divider panels in 1953. Herman Miller Inc introduced the Action Office One in 1964, but by 1968 had remodeled it by adding side-vision-blocking panels to it.)
Those vision blocking panels were added because some of the workers using the first design examples had begun to have mental breaks. Herman Miller Inc. claims the invention of the Cubicle in 1968 but does not mention the reason for it.
Those designers and psychologists who solved the problem thought they had caused it for the first time. But a search through history reveals other incidents that are better explained by the conflict of physiology and the mental break it will cause.
1100/1300 AD Four Corners, South Western United States -- The Anasazi abandoned a large home area after building defensive Pueblo cities then small remote sometimes hidden residences. There are many theories attempting to explain this abandonment.
Chaco Canyon PVN site page.
1830's Rocky Mountains -- Fur trappers experienced violent attacks when two or more people attempted to over-winter in small single-room cabins. The phenomenon came to be known as Cabin Fever. When two or more people are confined for weeks in too small single-room arrangements they will eventually create the "special circumstances" the designers of the 1960's created.
Culture Bound Syndromes PVN site page.
1880's France -- Artisans, clerks and small business owners began to disappear. They were found only when they regained their senses and found them selves hundreds of miles from home with amnesia if how they got there. Those three occupation categories qualify as knowledge work. Victims would have easily created the special circumstances to cause exposure to Subliminal Distraction.
Dissociative Fugue Cases VPN site page.
1898/99 Belgian Polar Expedition -- Eighteen men aboard the Belgica began to go insane when the converted whaler was trapped in polar ice. The ship used a single-room living and working arrangement.

1974 Soyuz 21 Russian Space Mission -- The flight engineer experienced a psychotic mental break. The mission was cancelled and the two men returned to earth days before the scheduled return.
