And you had the test group, which was they were only imagining.

doing the task.

And so they had a control of nothing and a control of actual practice and where the imagination group was actually closer to the practice group, not to the level of the physical practice, but they were far away from the control do nothing group.

They just showed up and they did it.

They were still trained athletes to do the task, but it's like the certain metric that they were trying to improve did not get better.

Or maybe they weren't.

I can't, I'd have to look at the study, but this, this does exist.

I think that to tile that together, like what you're saying is.

Since I've started doing these movies and stuff, there's a big part of directing, I think, that is visualizing the shot, right?

Getting better at imagining what that is.

I don't think that my imaginations are any more vivid or clear, but there is a level of practice where it's like, I've seen more camera angles.

I've seen more lens options.

I've seen more positions where it can be clear.

I know the difference between like a probe now.

So I can apply those to my imagination.

And at the very least, I can hold it in my head longer because my biggest problem is I can imagine things are a song, but I can't play it all the way through because it'll shunt to a different thought pretty quickly.

So concentration, I think, and that kind of meditation of the focus in that space and in that state is the practice that you can do and the way that you can improve besides just experiencing new things.

I think that the proprioception is one that you can actually tangibly get better at.

I don't know why that would be, but I think because in my experience as a child, I did a lot more and then I fell out of it.

I was worse at it and then I got better at it.
