On 3 March, Brian David Phillips conducted an extensive introductory workshop on VICARIOUS EXPERIENTIAL MACHINE: Trance Techniques for Physical Skill Acceleration in Keelung, Taiwan.

The Vicarious eXperiential Machine is a trance construct in which a person models a visual activity . . . feeling within their own body what they see before them (video, film, photo, or even based upon reading). It can also be done without a visual cue for modeling a physical activity. Taking advantage of deep trance experience and how mirror neurons can be employed to accelerate mastery of physical skills, this is a very powerful process for learning and mastery of physical skill sets.
