According to Agar, culture is a construction, a translation between source languaculture and target languaculture.

In psychology, transmarginal inhibition, or TMI, is an organism's response to overwhelming stimuli. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmarginal_inhibition |
Ivan Pavlov enumerated details of TMI on his work of conditioning animals to pain. He found that organisms had different levels of tolerance. He commented "that the most basic inherited difference among people was how soon they reached this shutdown point and that the quick-to-shut-down have a fundamentally different t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmarginal_inhibition |
There are three stages passed through for state of TMI to be reached. equivalent phase: when the response matches the stimuli, which is considered the normal baseline behavior. paradoxical phase: associated with quantity reversal, occurs when small stimuli receive major responses and major stimuli elicit small response... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmarginal_inhibition |
An organism can progress through these stages by increased stimulation, random negative stimulation, reversing positive and negative stimulation, or physically debilitating the organism. As observed by Pavlov, tolerance of stimulation varies greatly between individuals. Highly sensitive persons may be overstimulated by... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmarginal_inhibition |
The sudden conversion methods of mental conditioning rely heavily on TMI.

Inside these circles, lines connect regions that are... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectogram |
With the recent concerted push to map all of the human brain and its connections, it has become increasingly important to find ways to graphically represent the large amounts of data involved in connectomics. Most other representations of the connectome use 3 dimensions, and therefore require an interactive graphical u... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectogram |
On an individual level, connectograms can be used to inform the treatment of patients with neuroanatomical abnormalities.

Minority influence, a form of social influence, takes place when a member of a minority group influences the majority to accept the minority's beliefs or behavior. This occurs when a small group or an individual acts as an agent of social change by questioning established societal perceptions, and proposing alternative... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Majority influence refers to the majority trying to produce conformity on the minority, while minority influence is converting the majority to adopt the thinking of the minority group. Unlike other forms of influence, minority influence is often thought of as a more innovative form of social change, because it usually ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Nearly all early research on minority influence focused on how the majority influenced the minority, based on the assumption of many psychologists that it would be very hard for the minority to have any influence on the majority. Moscovici had a different perspective, as he believed that it was possible for a minority ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Similar to Asch's (1951) 'blue-green' experiment, to see if a group of four participants were influenced by a minority. His research was important as it was one of the first studies to show that a minority was able to change the opinions of the majority. The research of Moscovici and his colleagues opened the door to m... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Moscovici's (1980, 1985) conversion theory outlines a dual process of social influence. When an individual's views differ from the majority view, this causes inner turmoil, motivating the individual to reduce conflict by using a comparison process, leading to compliance and public acceptance of the majority position to... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
This often results in attitude conversion, where the individual is convinced that the minority view is correct, which is much more likely to be private rather than public. Majority influence occurs when people conform to certain beliefs and behaviours in order to be accepted by others. Unlike majority influence, minori... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
To influence the majority, the minority group would take the approach of informational social influence (Wood, 1994). By presenting information that the majority does not know or expect, this new or unexpected information catches the attention of the majority to carefully consider and examine the minority's view. After... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
A study by Elizabeth Mannix and Margaret Ann Neale (2005) shows that having the support from the majority leader could prove to be the critical factor in getting the minority opinion to be heard and be accepted. The support of a leader gives the majority more confidence in the merit of the minority opinion, leading to ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Involving key people will benefit the minority view because people are more open to hear from others whom they trust and respect. In minority influence, a few influential leaders can influence the opposing majority to the minority's way of thinking. In the end, having a more supportive and active minority group could l... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Moscovici and Nemeth (1974) argue that a minority of one is more influential than a minority of more than one, as one person is more likely to be consistent over long periods of time and will not divide the majority's attention. They explain that a person may question themself: "How can they be so wrong and yet so sure... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
The social impact model (Latané & Wolf 1981) predicts that as the size of the majority grows, the influence of the minority decreases, both in public and in private attitude change. The social impact model further explains that social impact is the multiplicative effect of strength (power, status, knowledge), the immed... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Similarly, Latané and Wolf cite Solomon Asch's work with "the magic number three". After his experiments, Asch concludes that when the majority consists of just one or two individuals, there is very little conformity. The addition of a third majority member dramatically increases conformity, but increases beyond three ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Minority influence is more likely to occur if the point of view of the minority is consistent, flexible, and appealing to the majority. Having a consistent and unwavering opinion will increase the appeal to the majority, leading to a higher chance of adaption to the minority view. However, any wavering opinions from th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
This can be the case if a member of the minority deserts and joins the majority, as this damages the consistency and unity of the minority. After this occurrence, members of the majority are less likely to shift their position to that of the minority. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
The key to minority influence being successful is not just consistency, but how the majority interprets consistency. If the consistent minority are seen as too inflexible, rigid, and unwilling to change, they are unlikely to influence the majority. However, if they appear flexible and compromising, they will be seen as... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Research shows that individuals are more likely to listen to the minority and take on their ideas if they identify with them as being similar to themselves. Maass & Clark (1984) arranged for a group of heterosexual participants to hear a debate on gay rights. The results showed that the majority heterosexual group deba... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Therefore, the minority homosexual group had less of an influence. Influence is more likely to occur if the minority (or majority) is part of our 'in-group' as we are more likely to be influenced by those who are similar to us. This research contradicts with Moscovici's view that deviant minorities (or out-groups) are ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
In-group minorities are more likely to be successful, as they are seen as part of the group, and therefore their ideas are seen as more acceptable. On the other hand, out-groups are more likely to be discriminated, as they are not seen as part of the group, causing them to seem strange or unusual.In addition, the decis... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Most juries will elect a leader and then decide whether the voting for a verdict will be public or private. Using the Story Model Theory which suggests that cognitive processing of trial information is what drives jurors to mentally organize evidence in coherent, credible narratives, jurors will approach a verdict in o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
The verdict favored by the majority on the first ballot becomes the jury's final decision in about 90% of all jury trials. Minorities, then, do have some influence over the outcome. When a jury is hung, it is usually because one or two jurors are holding out, or resisting the influence of the majority. If these jury me... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
As time goes on, more and more jurors may change their vote in favor of the original minority. It is, however, extremely important the original jurors are consistent and confident in their opinions. The more unsteady they appear, the less likely they are to conquer the majority. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Members of a jury who have high prestige or status are usually more influential than members who are not. Members who are also of high socioeconomic status are also more likely to influential in the jury deliberation process. This is demonstrated by the correlation between private preliberation opinion and jury's final... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |

After a number of members have shifted their opinion to agree with the minority group, that minority becomes a majority. This is known as the snowball effect. When a minority creates social change in society, the new view becomes an integral part of the society's culture. This results in the source of the minority infl... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Minority influence can be successful if people can dissociate between the socio-cognitive activities of resistance that are induced by the source and other activities of resistance that develop from the content of the message. The process of dissociation is explained by social cryptoamnesia: what was originally conside... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
However, if one is not aware of the influence, the minority ideas could be taken as one's own while disregarding where the original idea came from. Social cryptoamnesia explains that thoughts and ideas that challenge or shock are stored in latent memory without retaining the ownership of the idea. Ideas that were suppo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
This major attitude change takes place when the zeitgeist has changed. In history, minorities have changed the attitudes of society, and the attitudes of society have changed the personal opinion of the majority in that society.

By integrating the theory of minority influence in organizations, people may be more open to learning and change, benefiting the organization in the end. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
Not only is minority influence seen in social groups, but this type of social influence is also present in the workplace. Incorporating the concept of minority influence can encourage diversity and change in a corporate organization. Mannix and Neale (2005) performed a case study on a company that asked all the senior ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |

Their performance reviews evaluated the managers on less tangible measures related to leadership, an essential factor that is considered for receiving a promotion. Upon reflection of t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_influence |
There is evidence to suggest that it is possible for minority influence and majority influence to work together.
