Miss Break – A miss break is taken anytime the viewer misses the ideogram after the presentation of the coordinates. A miss break can also be taken if the viewer misses the feeling and/or the motion. The miss break is beneficial in that it tells the system that the signal was missed and to stop looking for it. If this is not done the brain will produce an AOL rather than admit it missed it. After a moments pause the viewer should retake the coordinates and proceed. Any number of miss breaks can be called. There is no shame in missing the signal, the shame is in not calling the break and allowing AOL to be produced.
