Effects of 6-10 Hz ELF on Brain Waves
Article by David S. Walonick, originally printed in Borderlands (Vol. XLVI, Nos. 3&4, May – August 1990) There is evidence that ELF magnetic waves can affect brain waves. This set of experiments was designed to study the effects of ELF rotating magnetic fields on the brain. The specific ELF frequencies I was interested in studying are 6-10 Hertz. A question of importance is: “If we can electronically shift the brain wave frequencies to alpha or theta, will a person’s moods or thought patterns change to those commonly associated with those frequencies?”. When I began these experiments, I was well aware of the possible ethical implications involved in ELF research. I decided to undertake this research with full knowledge of the ethical implications. I began by collecting all the available research on ELF fields. Equipment The equipment required for this research was easily attainable, with the notable exception of a stable frequency counter with .01 Hertz resolution. Experimental Design Dr.
thought-waves | frequencies
thought-waves by Gabriel Levy I grew up by the shores of Lake Michigan. We used to play a game in the summer time. At the beach we would try to smash through the waves that crashed upon the shore. Much later in my life I was exposed to the more gruesome power of such waves. In the short story, “The Seventh Man” Haruki Murakami describes a wave as a doorway into the “other world” that characterizes many of his stories. In the tip of the wave, as if enclosed in some kind of transparent capsule, floated K’s body, reclining on its side. I don’t know what spirituality is, but when I think of the word, I think of waves—thought waves. Because I am interested in the materiality of thought and its medium, I often ask myself: what is thought made of? Perhaps thought is like a sound wave. Certainly one medium of thought is sound waves. Sound waves are waves of pressure. Perhaps thoughts, like sound, need to travel in a medium. Perhaps thought has this dual nature too.

Stochastic resonance
Figure 1: Evolution of the global ice volume on earth during the last million years as inferred from oxygen isotope data. Broadly speaking, stochastic resonance is a mechanism by which a system embedded in a noisy environment acquires an enhanced sensitivity towards small external time-dependent forcings, when the noise intensity reaches some finite level. As such it highlights the possibility that noise, a universal phenomenon and yet one considered traditionally to constitute a nuisance, may actually play a constructive role in large classes of both natural and artificially designed systems. History The concept of stochastic resonance was invented in 1981-82 in the rather exotic context of the evolution of the earth's climate. Classical setting In its classical setting stochastic resonance deals with bistable systems, a class of nonlinear dynamical systems that are encountered in a wide range of phenomena across different scientific fields. with Further indicators of stochastic resonance
Isochronic Tones - What They Are: The Research and the Benefits
What are isochronic tones? Why use isochronic tones and other brainwave stimulation? When isochronic tones are utilized as a stimulus under specific circumstances, research has shown evidence of beneficial outcomes such as anxiety reduction and increased concentration. Here are just a few of the reasons one might use this technology, with links to even more information and supporting research. Cognition / Attention / Focus: A growing body of research is showing that brainwave stimulation can be an incredibly effective tool to promote attention and focus. Stress Reduction: The sessions included in NP3 are designed to be naturally relaxing, but it also comes with sessions specifically designed for stress and anxiety. Emotional Stability / Mood Support: Decades of neurofeedback research have revealed specific brainwave patterns characteristic of negative moods and overly emotional mental states.

Core - The Power of Vibrations
“In the beginning was the word.” The Big Bang Theory. What do they each express? The vibration of sound … the primordial sound … the power of vibrations … the life force … the vital spark that shows that living entities are more than a simple collection of chemicals … all this and more. In studies thousands of years ago the Hindus in India named these vibrations prana, while the Chinese called it ch’i and created their entire practice of medicine around this vibration of life. The vibrations of the human energy field are now shown, measured, and photographed by modern scientific instruments to diagnose and treat disease states … witness the use of EKG’s, EMG’s, EEG’s, and X-rays. In the laboratory scientists can use the SQUID or Superconducting Quantum Interface Device to detect the ultra-sensitive magnetic field surrounding the hands of a healer intent on sending healing energy to a recipient. Einstein suggested that matter and energy are interconnected and inter-convertible.
Health effects caused by noise : Evidence in the literature from the past 25 years Ising H, Kruppa B - Noise Health
Traffic noise is the most important source of environmental annoyance. According to the Environmental Expert Council of Germany, severe annoyance persistent over prolonged periods of time is to be regarded as causing distress. Previously, extraaural noise effects were mostly assessed using a paradigm in which the sound level played the major role. On the basis of this paradigm the relatively low sound level of environmental noise was not considered to be a potential danger to health. In contrast to this numerous empirical results have shown longterm noise-induced health risks. Therefore a radical change of attitude - a change of paradigm - is necessary.
