A holography tool kit:
emotion in the brain is tied to frequency/wavelength of the senses. A
reference beam can be constructed out of an emotion (or more so a complex
emotion), this sets a context. The interference beam then 'shines' on an
object (lit and met) and the result is an emotion-based hologram (need
details on the structure of the film.)
To reconstruct the image you need the 'right' reference beam; IOW the
'right' emotional tone/colour. Anything slightly off this will elicit a
blurred image (if any at all).
This method allows for the slighest of feedback to elicit the recall of a
full image. In experiences we find that the feedback can act to takeover an
experience, we project, we see what was or could be there rather than what
IS there.
