-<blockquote>"In attending to either an idea or a sensation belonging to a particular sense-sphere, the movement is the adjustment of the sense-organ, felt as it occurs. I cannot think in visual terms, or example, without feeling a fluctuating play of pressures, convergences, divergences, and accommodations in my eyeballs...When I try to remember or reflect, the movements in question. . .feel like a sort of withdrawal from the outer world. As far as I can detect, these feelings are due to an actual rolling outwards and upwards of the eyeballs."</blockquote> +<blockquote>"In attending to either an idea or a sensation belonging to a particular sense-sphere, the movement is the adjustment of the sense-organ, felt as it occurs.

 +According to NLP theory, certain eye movements are associated with specific types of thoughts or mental processes. For example, looking up to the left is said to be associated with accessing visual memories, while looking down to the right is said to be associated with accessing auditory memories. NLP practitioners may use eye movements as part of an assessment of a person's thoughts and emotional state, and may also use eye movement techniques as a way to help people change their thoughts or behaviors. 
 =====Notation and strategies===== =====Notation and strategies=====
 In documenting mental strategies and processing by the senses, NLP practitioners often use a simple shorthand for different modalities, with a letter indicating the representation system concerned, and often, a superscript to indicate how that system is being used. Three key aspects are commonly notated: The ''representation system'' being used (visual/V, auditory/A, kinesthetic/K, and occasionally, O/G), whether the ''direction of attention'' is internal <sup>(i)</sup> or external <sup>(e)</sup>, and whether the event is a ''recollection'' of an actual past event <sup>(r)</sup> or ''construction'' of an imaginary event <sup>(c)</sup>. Due to its importance in human cognitive processing, auditory internal dialogue, or talking in one's head, has its own shorthand: A<sup>id</sup>. In documenting mental strategies and processing by the senses, NLP practitioners often use a simple shorthand for different modalities, with a letter indicating the representation system concerned, and often, a superscript to indicate how that system is being used.
