This was given to me by a friend its interesting. Look at the date it was written I have pasted the first page if you want to keep reading click on the link. It’s on( I will need spell check for this.) This page looks at 'kinetic' biometrics, sometimes characterised as behavioural biometrics. In the domain of p
Quantitative concepts bit heavy I know read it from the reiki point of view.Sidney.

SIGHT is not passive, it is an active function;
and, although we see apparently without
effort and without volition, yet every moment of
vision is costing its adequate amount of vital
energy. True, we cannot say just how much
energy is utilized in looking any given length of
time at any particular scene; but we do know that
many nervous persons are very much exhausted by
the use of the eyes for a short time in an art gal-
lery, where things of great interest are constantly
attracting their attention. Some are more ex-
hausted by one hour of such effort with the eyes
than they would be by ten hours of manual labor;
consequently the same amount of vital force that
would be required for ten hours of labor, may be
disposed of in one hour through the medium of
the eyes. Now, if there be some defect in the
construction of the eyes, the consumption of
nerve-force will be much greater; for example, a
short superior muscle in one eye requires many
times the amount of nerve-force to perform
the function that the centers were ever intended
to furnish. The function of sight may be as suc-
cessfully performed as if the eyes were perfect,
but only by an excessive call on the nerve-cen-
ters to maintain a balance between the two eyes;
in such cases the vision is sometimes of more
than average sharpness.
