TAILIEUCHUNG - MEDICINE MEETS VIRTUAL REALITY 13

Magical describes conditions that are outside our understanding of cause and effect. What cannot be attributed to human or natural forces is explained as magic: super-human, super-natural will. Even in modern societies, magic-based explanations are powerful because, given the complexity of the universe, there are so many opportunities to use them. The history of medicine is defined by progress in understanding the human body – from magical explanations to measurable results. Metaphysics was abandoned when evidence-based models provided better results in the alleviation of physical suffering. The pioneers of medicine demonstrated that when we relinquish magic, we gain more reliable control over ourselves | MEDICINE MEETS VIRTUAL REALITY 13 Studies in Health Technology and Informatics This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC programmes Advanced Informatics in Medicine AIM and Biomedical and Health Research BHR bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that telecommunication technology rehabilitative technology intelligent home technology and many other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and communication media. The complete series has been accepted in Medline. In the future the SHTI series will be available online. Series Editors Dr. . Christensen Prof. G. de Moor Prof. A. Hasman Prof. L. Hunter Dr. I.
