(Lacking awareness/ cognitive)
A.k.a.
Unconscious system
Pre-Attentive visual processing structures can extract perceptions at speeds under:

HFRG Defnese Tactics System has a design methology consisting of:
Tactical Research
Survival Sress Research

The ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) is divided into 2 branches:
- PNS (parasympathetic nervous system)
- SNS (sympathetic nervous system)
Inverted U-Law
Used to demonstrate this relationship between stress and performance associated with the activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
Recovery
“BACKLASH”
Lying horizontally
Equilizes blood pressure
Ingesting fast burning carbohydrates asap
Ingest good protein/ carbohydrates before report writing
SNS triggers
- Objective threat perceptions
- Objective fear perceptions
- Physical exhaustion
- Startle response
Physiological changes caused by SNS activation:
- Adrenaline activity
- Vascular activity
- Perceptual narrowing
(70% LOSS OF VISION)
