I'm surprised a new disease known as "office piles" hasn't been naturally engineered through motionless bowel movement full of cheap coffee.
In anesthetized and non-paralyzed animals, the macrovibrissae are usually motionless; however, spontaneous movement of single or multiple macrovibrissae can occur infrequently and can continue for several minutes.
Trout rippled, stationary yet supple and subtle, motionless yet full of movement..
On the paper, "the greens became mud, the birds suggested no possibility of movement, stuck motionless above the waves, the crests of the waves themselves would never spill".
Instead of "Action!," Baumbach says, "Begin," or "When you're ready," and then sits motionless but for a movement in his mouth, as if his tongue were searching for a missing tooth.
Even weirder, one recent study found that stimulating a visual area known as MT+ can cause people to hallucinate movement of motionless objects.
"The way he was already suggesting animated movement upon a motionless still page would make his technique the most broadly applicable to this new way of presenting comics," Moore says.
Context-conditioned freezing was measured by two trained observers (between-observer reliability r = 0.98) as the time a rat spent completely motionless except for breathing movements.
Subjects initially performed a 30 minute resting period during which they were seated and motionless except for the movements associated with reading (e.g., turning pages).
Freezing behavior, defined as motionless posture, excluding respiratory movements, was measured in the absence of any shock stimuli for 8 min. To assess effects of VU0467154 alone on the acquisition of contextual fear conditioning, parameters were optimized to obtain a baseline measure of <50% freezing.
