Well then I guess what I'm trying to figure out is who the original board will be.

Yeah I totally agree. But the question now is who will be in complete authority over all the fundraising and the company after the public has been told about it? I'm not saying this as a grasp for power, but we all need to know who would be in charge. And also that person would designate people to be assistants that have their own authority over their team. As of now, that's all the questions I have, but yeah, sounds great so far.

Hey Jim, I realize I'm only 14 but would it be alright if I could help out somehow?

No I can't see the first either

Yeah, I figured. Well if anyone will mentor me too, please contact me at geometryking2014@gmail.com

@webman128 by apprenticeship you mean you mentoring another or the other way around?

Ogprince, you mean everyone here can be a beta??!?

I believe you. and btw, id be happy to contact you with information about everything. I'd love to be involved with whatever you have going on.

EKG’s monitor the electrical pulses from the heart. Athos (liveathos.com) does pretty well at tracking muscular effort, but if we could find a way to analyze the neuromuscular junctions for electrical impulses from the brain, converting quantity and intensity into another electrical current in the form of a signal to the console/headset, all the while maintaining a discreet profile, such as a body suit that the player puts on beforehand, we have it. Sleep-like state. (Not figured out. Quite possibly removing the Ca2+ from the junctions, rendering them immovable. As for the actual sleep state, perhaps a form of low frequency wave emitted from the helmet/console designed to hypnotize you into sleep.) Brain sends impulses to muscles to move. Signal is intercepted by the suit, muscles not moving because of sleep-like state. Suit relays the pulses to the console. Console relays them into the game, to the specific parts of the body that your mind tried to move in real life. Logging out. (Not figured out. Perhaps the opposite of signing in.)

@CraigD Could you be so kind as to explain how Golgi Tendon Organs work?

BUT, I don't know if it would affect the proprioceptory nerves.

You're right, but depleting calcium ions from neuromuscular junctions would lower the overall level of calcium in the user's body. An organ (I forget which) monitors the blood calcium level. Once it recognizes a low amount it signals to osteoclasts would break apart the bone and refill the bloodstream, thus putting you in danger because of a loop of Calcium-->Low Calcium(no movement)-->Osteoclasts refilling-->Bone mass loss. A user using this method would probably acquire an osteopathic disease such as osteoporosis or worse. I'm still researching about the neuromuscular junctions and proprieceptary sensation, but I believe the key has to do with Suxamethonium chloride. I know this drug only has a duration of 2-6 minutes, but if we could find a way to add a drug to it that increases its life, without being potent enough to harm somebody. I have no clue what category these drugs fall under, if there even is one, but I'm still going to research it. @CraigD, thanks for the support. Should be researching every day from now on. And a question; if you look back in my first post, where I mention a machine, would there be a way to monitor the electrical impulses sent from the brain to the muscles? I've read other posts about rewriting the code and stuff but do you really need to do that? Maybe if we could create a machine, or suit, that monitors the slight electrical impulses from the brain to your muscles and how intense they are, to put it as input into the system and viola! You have movement. Is that accurate at all?

Maybe I should just stop posting lol. I am only 14 after all.

Just asking, if they aren't in a comatose state or something close to, how would our brain interpret the real life stimuli AND the VR stimuli together? Wouldn't that make the mind confused and generate a scenario where both could be happening simultaneously?

Ok, so this is my first post. I'm just going to say, I'm 14. I was reading every single comment and reply for hours and came to think of a possible solution. I was talking with my father and I came across an idea. Maybe instead of probing the brain with an intrusive procedure, you could administer Rocuronium to prevent muscle movement and program the helmet, the NerveGear if you will, to administer it every 180 minutes. This prevents your real life body from moving. Then, when you cannot move, I was thinking up a prototype machine that reads the synapses' electrical movements. So when your brain sends the signal to move a muscle, the Rocuronium will stop the muscle, but the electric pulse will still be there. The machine will read the input, of where it is and how strong it is, and send it as output into the VR avatar. The only problem I have come to is putting the player into a comatose-like state where the brain functions normally off the VR stimuli while ignoring real life stimuli. I think this is a great idea, but I would love if someone corrected me.
