Maybe you can use this, Igor. Excerpt from a PhD thesis... Understanding the Haptic Interactions of Working Together Kyle Brandon Reed This is about haptic communication "communicating by touch". Kyle is a Lindy Hop dancer, too. There is much, much, more in this article. I found this excerpt with a quick search for "of forces". Somewhere she has "definition of forces", too. In some applications, forces can relay vital information. If the perception of forces is reduced, as in Shergill el al.âs study, or the transfer of forces is hindered, communication can be significantly diminished. Fly-By-Wire (FBW), a design for airplane control, eliminates the direct mechanical connection (and thus the forces) between the pilot and the planeâs control surfaces and also between the two pilots. Depending on the configuration and design of the FBW system, the flight sticks allow little or no haptic interaction between pilots. Summers et al. [94] conducted a series of experiments on pilots using a Flight Simulator at NASA Ames Research Center. They examined four different cases, ranked by the pilots in order from most preferred to least preferred: coupled, uncoupled with a disconnect switch, uncoupled with priority logic (essentially the largest input wins), and uncoupled (average of inputs). The pilots significantly preferred the coupled (haptic) FBW more than the uncoupled (non-haptic) FBW. They also found a significant performance decrement when using uncoupled FBW.

You just will not want to dance in any other way. Still, there is substantiation. I wrote quite a lot about in on my website. Not complete yet, sorry..

Resistance causes muscles to tense and when they tense, it's difficult to move them. However, you wrote that there is strong scientific substantiation. Where is the substantiation. Michael I'd rather be dancing Argentine Tango ----- Original Message ----- From: "Igor Polk" To: Cc: Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 2:00 PM Subject: Re: [Tango-L] Strong Lead - resistance effect I missed that, sorry.. Carol: "the more advanced the dancer, the less resistance is desired, because it allows more nuance." Actually it is opposite: Stronger resistance in body and in hands allows way more nuances. And there is strong scientific substantiation to that.
