Effect of sound frequency on a person. Vibration frequencies of the human body and organs

Each sound has a vibration, and depending on what frequency this vibration will be, it will carry different effects on the world. Everything is subject to vibrations: man, natural phenomena, Space and Galaxy. The material of the article considers the influence of various sound frequencies on a person, his health, consciousness and psyche. And also very informative processes occurring in nature.

Infrasound (from lat. infra - below, under) - elastic waves similar to sound waves, but with frequencies below the region of human audible frequencies.

Infrasound is contained in the noise of the atmosphere, forests and the sea. The source of infrasonic vibrations are lightning discharges (thunder), as well as explosions and gun shots. In the earth's crust, tremors and vibrations of infrasonic frequencies are observed from a wide variety of sources, including explosions from landslides and transport pathogens. Infrasound is characterized by low absorption in various media, as a result of which infrasonic waves in air, water and in the earth's crust can propagate over very long distances. This phenomenon finds practical application in determining the location of strong explosions or the position of a firing gun. The propagation of infrasound over long distances in the sea makes it possible to predict natural disaster- tsunami. Explosion sounds containing a large number of infrasonic frequencies are used to study the upper layers of the atmosphere, the properties of the aquatic environment.

Infrasound - vibrations with a frequency below 20 Hz.

overwhelming number modern people do not hear acoustic vibrations with a frequency below 40 Hz. Infrasound can instill in a person such feelings as melancholy, panic fear, a feeling of cold, anxiety, trembling in the spine. People exposed to infrasound experience approximately the same sensations as when visiting places where ghosts have been encountered. Getting into resonance with human biorhythms, infrasound of particularly high intensity can cause instant death.

The maximum levels of low-frequency acoustic oscillations from industrial and transport sources reach 100–110 dB. At a level of 110 to 150 dB or more, it can cause unpleasant subjective sensations in people and numerous reactive changes, which include changes in the central nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems ah, the vestibular analyzer. Permissible sound pressure levels are 105 dB in the octave bands 2, 4, 8, 16 Hz and 102 dB in the octave band 31.5 Hz.

Low-frequency sound vibrations can cause a rapidly emerging and also rapidly disappearing thick ("like milk") fog over the ocean. Some explain the phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle precisely by infrasound, which is generated by large waves - people start to panic, become unbalanced (they can kill each other).

The influence of sound frequencies on the human body and consciousness

Infrasound can "shift" tuning frequencies internal organs. Many cathedrals and churches have organ pipes so long that they produce a sound with a frequency of less than 20 Hz.

Resonance frequencies of the human internal organs:

Infrasound acts due to resonance: the oscillation frequencies for many processes in the body lie in the infrasonic range:

• contractions of the heart 1-2 Hz;
• brain delta rhythm (sleep state) 0.5-3.5 Hz;
• alpha rhythm of the brain (resting state) 8-13 Hz;
• brain beta rhythm (mental work) 14-35 Hz.

When the frequencies of the internal organs and infrasound coincide, the corresponding organs begin to vibrate, which can be accompanied by severe pain.

Bioeffectiveness for humans of frequencies 0.05 - 0.06, 0.1 - 0.3, 80 and 300 Hz is explained by resonance circulatory system. Here are some statistics. In the experiments of French acousticians and physiologists, 42 young people were exposed to infrasound with a frequency of 7.5 Hz and a level of 130 dB for 50 minutes. All subjects experienced a marked increase in the lower limit blood pressure. Under the influence of infrasound, changes in the rhythm of heart contractions and respiration, weakening of the functions of vision and hearing, increased fatigue and other disorders were recorded.

And frequencies 0.02 - 0.2, 1 - 1.6, 20 Hz - heart resonance. The lungs and heart, like any three-dimensional resonating systems, are also prone to intense vibrations when the frequencies of their resonances coincide with the frequency of infrasound. The smallest resistance to infrasound is provided by the walls of the lungs, which in the end can cause damage to them.

The sets of biologically active frequencies do not match in different animals. For example, the resonant frequencies of the heart for a human give 20 Hz, for a horse - 10 Hz, and for a rabbit and rats - 45 Hz.

Significant psychotropic effects are most pronounced at a frequency of 7 Hz, consonant with the alpha rhythm of the natural oscillations of the brain, and any mental work in this case becomes impossible, since it seems that the head is about to break into small pieces. Infra frequencies of about 12 Hz at a strength of 85–110 dB induce seasickness and dizziness, and oscillations with a frequency of 15–18 Hz at the same intensity inspire feelings of anxiety, uncertainty and, finally, panic fear.

In the early 1950s, the French researcher Gavreau, who studied the effect of infrasound on the human body, found that with fluctuations of the order of 6 Hz, volunteers participating in the experiments experience a feeling of fatigue, then anxiety, turning into unaccountable horror. According to Gavro, paralysis of the heart and nervous system is possible at 7 Hz.

Professor Gavro's close acquaintance with infrasounds began, one might say, by accident. For some time now it has become impossible to work in one of the rooms of his laboratory. Not having been here for even two hours, people felt completely ill: their heads were spinning, severe fatigue piled up, their mental abilities were disturbed. More than one day passed before Professor Gavreau and his colleagues figured out where to look for an unknown enemy. Infrasounds and the human condition ... What are the relationships, patterns and consequences? As it turned out, high-power infrasonic vibrations were created by the ventilation system of the plant, which was built near the laboratory. The frequency of these waves was about 7 hertz (that is, 7 oscillations per second), and this was a danger to humans.

Infrasound acts not only on the ears, but also on the whole body. The internal organs begin to fluctuate - the stomach, heart, lungs, and so on. In this case, their damage is inevitable. Infrasound, even if not very strong, can disrupt the functioning of our brain, cause fainting and lead to temporary blindness. And powerful sounds of more than 7 hertz stop the heart or break blood vessels.

Biologists who have studied for themselves how infrasound of great intensity acts on the psyche have found that sometimes a feeling of unreasonable fear is born in this case. Other frequencies of infrasonic vibrations cause a state of fatigue, a feeling of melancholy or motion sickness with dizziness and vomiting.

According to Professor Gavro, the biological effect of infrasound is manifested when the frequency of the wave coincides with the so-called alpha rhythm of the brain. The work of this researcher and his collaborators has already revealed many features of infrasounds. I must say that all studies with such sounds are far from safe. Professor Gavro recalls how they had to stop experiments with one of the generators. The participants of the experiment became so ill that even after a few hours the usual low sound was perceived by them painfully. There was also such a case when everyone who was in the laboratory trembled objects in their pockets: pens, notebooks, keys. Thus, infrasound with a frequency of 16 hertz showed its strength.

With sufficient intensity, sound perception also occurs at frequencies of a few hertz. At present, its emission region extends down to about 0.001 Hz. Thus, the range of infrasonic frequencies covers about 15 octaves. If the rhythm is a multiple of one and a half beats per second and is accompanied by a powerful pressure of infrasonic frequencies, then it can cause ecstasy in a person. With a rhythm equal to two beats per second, and at the same frequencies, the listener falls into a dance trance, which is similar to a drug one.

Studies have shown that the frequency of 19 hertz is resonant for the eyeballs, and it is this frequency that can not only cause visual impairment, but also visions, phantoms.

Many are familiar with the discomfort after a long ride on a bus, train, sailing on a ship or swinging on a swing. They say: "I got sick." All these sensations are associated with the action of infrasound on the vestibular apparatus, the natural frequency of which is close to 6 Hz. When a person is exposed to infrasound with frequencies close to 6 Hz, the pictures created by the left and right eyes may differ from each other, the horizon will begin to “break”, there will be problems with orientation in space, inexplicable anxiety and fear will come. Similar sensations are also caused by light pulsations at frequencies of 4–8 Hz.

"Some scientists believe that infrasonic frequencies may be present in places that are said to be haunted, and it is infrasound that causes the strange impressions commonly associated with ghosts - our study confirms these ideas," Wiseman said.

Vic Tandy, a computer scientist at Coventry University, dismissed all ghost legends as nonsense, not noteworthy. That evening he was working in his laboratory, as always, when suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat. He clearly felt that someone was looking at him, and this look carries with it something sinister. Then this ominous materialized into something shapeless, ash-gray, darted across the room and came close to the scientist. In the blurred outlines, arms and legs were guessed, and in place of the head a fog swirled, in the center of which was dark spot. Like a mouth. A moment later, the vision vanished into thin air without a trace. To Vic Tandy's credit, it must be said that having survived the first fear and shock, he began to act like a scientist - to look for the cause of an incomprehensible phenomenon. The easiest way was to attribute it to hallucinations. But where did they come from - Tandy did not take drugs, did not abuse alcohol. Yes, I drink coffee in moderation. As for otherworldly forces, the scientist categorically did not believe in them. No, we must look for the usual physical factors. And Tandy found them, albeit purely by accident. Hobby - fencing helped. Some time after the meeting with the "ghost" the scientist took a sword to the laboratory to put it in order for the upcoming competition. And suddenly the blade, clamped in a vise, began to vibrate more and more strongly, as if an invisible hand had touched it. The inhabitant would have thought of the invisible hand. And this prompted the scientist to think about resonant vibrations, similar to those that cause sound waves. So, the dishes in the closet begin to ring when the music rumbles in the room at full power. However, the strange thing was that there was silence in the laboratory. However, is it quiet? Having asked himself this question, Tandy immediately answered it: he measured the sound background with special equipment. And it turned out that there is unimaginable noise here, but sound waves have a very low frequency which the human ear cannot perceive. It was infrasound. And after a short search, the source of it was found: a new fan recently installed in the air conditioner. As soon as it was turned off, the "spirit" disappeared and the blade stopped vibrating. Is infrasound related to my night ghost? - such an idea came to the head of a scientist. Measurements of the frequency of infrasound in the laboratory showed 18.98 hertz, and this almost exactly corresponds to the one at which the human eyeball begins to resonate. So, apparently, the sound waves caused Vic Tandy's eyeballs to vibrate and caused an optical illusion - he saw a figure that was not really there.

Infrasound can affect not only vision, but also the psyche, and also move the hairs on the skin, creating a feeling of cold.

British scientists have once again demonstrated that infrasound can have a very strange and, as a rule, negative effect on the psyche of people. People exposed to infrasound experience approximately the same sensations as when visiting places where ghosts have been encountered. An employee of the National Physical Laboratory in England, Dr. Richard Lord, and professor of psychology Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire (University of Hertfordshire) conducted a rather strange experiment on an audience of 750 people. With the help of a seven-meter pipe, they managed to add ultra-low frequencies to the sound of ordinary acoustic instruments at a classical music concert. After the concert, the audience was asked to describe their impressions. "Experimental" reported that they felt a sudden decline in mood, sadness, some goosebumps ran down the skin, someone had a heavy feeling of fear. Self-hypnosis could only partly explain this. Of the four works played at the concert, infrasound was present only in two, while the listeners were not told which ones.

Infrasound in the atmosphere

Infrasound in the atmosphere can either be the result of seismic vibrations or actively influence them. The nature of the exchange of vibrational energy between the lithosphere and the atmosphere can manifest itself in the preparation of large earthquakes.

Infrasonic oscillations are "sensitive" to changes in seismic activity within a radius of up to 2000 km.

An important direction in the study of the relationship between IRCA and processes in the geospheres is the artificial acoustic perturbation of the lower atmosphere, and the subsequent observation of changes in various geophysical fields. Large ground explosions were used to model the acoustic disturbance. In this way, studies of the effect of ground-based acoustic disturbances on the ionosphere were carried out. Convincing facts have been obtained confirming the effect of ground explosions on the ionospheric plasma.

A short acoustic impact of high intensity changes the nature of infrasonic vibrations in the atmosphere to long time. Reaching ionospheric heights, infrasonic oscillations affect ionospheric electric currents and lead to changes in the geomagnetic field.

Analysis of infrasound spectra for the period 1997-2000. showed the presence of frequencies with periods characteristic of solar activity 27 days, 24 hours, 12 hours. The energy of infrasound increases with the fall of solar activity.

5–10 days before major earthquakes, the spectrum of infrasonic oscillations in the atmosphere changes significantly. It is also possible that infrasound influences solar activity on the Earth's biosphere.

The initial mechanisms of action of vibration are determined mainly by the fact that it causes a stream of impulses from the extero- and interoceptive zones. The reflex arc can close like an axon reflex through the connecting branches of the sympathetic border trunk and cells of the lateral horns, as well as higher sections of the vegetative-vascular centers. The reticular formation, stem vegetative formations, the diencephalic region, cortical vegetative cells are involved in the development of changes. When exposed to vibration, foci of excitation appear in the spinal cord (excessive inhibition of "vibration centers"). Due to the laws of irradiation, excitation is transmitted to neighboring centers (vasomotor). There are spastic reactions of vessels. This creates the conditions for the emergence of a pathologically closed vicious circle in the reflex arc circuit. A new vibrational stimulation leads to increased excitation of the "vibrational centers" and to a deepening of the vascular reaction. During the post-flight examination of the flight personnel, a symptom of oral automatism, hyperesthesia of the distal parts of the arms and legs, and staggering during the sensitized Romberg test can be detected. Nystagmus is less common, more often - anisoreflexia of tendon and skin reflexes, decreased knee and Achilles reflexes. Transversely directed vibrations can cause pain in the lumbar region, since this causes a large load on the ligamentous-muscular apparatus of the spine and, as a result, fatigue of the paravertebral muscles.

The effect of weightlessness on the body

Weightlessness is a biologically significant factor in space flight. The significance of weightlessness is due to the unusual nature of this state for a person. Weightlessness is such a physical state of the body when it seems to lose mass and is characterized by a decrease or complete disappearance of the mechanical stress of all its structures.

In a real space flight, weightlessness occurs when a circular flight around the Earth is performed at a speed of 8 km/s. It is at this speed of flight in orbit that conditions are created when the centripetal acceleration is balanced by the forces of gravity.

Weightlessness, as a specific habitability factor, has a direct and indirect effect on astronauts. The direct effect of weightlessness is understood as the adverse effect of the absence of terrestrial gravity, leading to the disappearance of body weight, deformation and tension of the structures of various organs and receptors of the body. The mediated influence of weightlessness is understood as functional changes occurring in the human CNS due to altered afferentation entering the cerebral cortex from receptors (vestibular, interoceptive, proprioceptive, tactile, etc.) and volume receptors, leading to a weakening of the regulatory role of the CNS and a violation of the functional systemic nature of the analyzers, involved in the analysis of spatial relationships.

The direct influence of the absence of terrestrial gravity gives rise to three main causes of changes occurring in the human body under conditions of weightlessness: a change in afferentation in the central nervous system from mechano- and volumoreceptors; reduction to zero hydrostatic pressure of blood and other body fluids; no weight load on the musculoskeletal system. The change and weakening of afferentation from mechano- and volumoreceptors in the CNS is due to a loss of otolith mass, a decrease in the tension of the postural tonic muscles and muscle efforts when moving the body due to the lack of the need to overcome the forces of gravity, the absence of reflex reactions aimed at maintaining body balance, a decrease in the stretching of hollow smooth muscle organs and vessels, a decrease in the deformation of parenchymal organs due to the lack of mass of these organs and their contents, a decrease in the load on the osteoarticular apparatus, etc.

These changes in afferentation under conditions of weightlessness lead to disruption of the habitual interaction of functional systems and the emergence of a sensory conflict. Deficiency of impulses from mechano- and volomoreceptors in the acute period of adaptation of the body to weightlessness may be accompanied by a decrease in the activity of the dorsal hypothalamus, hypothalamic-pituitary system and reticular formation with a weakening of its ascending and descending influence, which leads to the establishment of a new level of cortical-subcortical relationships in the form of a decrease in tone and reduce the inhibitory effect of the cortex on subcortical formations. In a real space flight, these changes lead to the appearance of illusory sensations in astronauts, an increase in the sensitivity of the receptors of the semicircular canals of the vestibular analyzer and rapidly onset motion sickness, as well as a violation of spatial orientation and coordination of movements.

The decrease in weightlessness to zero hydrostatic pressure of blood and other body fluids leads to significant changes in the circulatory system and the water-salt balance of a person. These changes are based on the movement of blood and other body fluids in the cranial direction. This leads to an increase in blood volume and an increase in its pressure in the vessels of the head, stretching and stimulation of the mechanoreceptors of the atrium and vessels of the cardiopulmonary department, which in turn causes the inclusion of reflex and humoral mechanisms aimed at maintaining hemodynamic and water-salt homeostasis.

The resulting urgent compensatory-adaptive reactions are associated with inhibition of the secretion of the pituitary antidiuretic hormone, with a decrease in the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and inhibition of the vasomotor center. This leads to a partial loss of fluid and electrolytes by the body through increased diuresis, a decrease in blood plasma volume, reflex constriction of the pulmonary vessels, dilation of the vessels of the systemic circulation, blood deposition in the internal organs and limitation of its entry into the cardiopulmonary region. In later periods of stay in weightlessness, adaptive reactions join them, manifesting themselves in a decrease in the total mass of erythrocytes and hemoglobin and leading to a further decrease in the volume of circulating blood.

The absence of a load on the musculoskeletal system under weightless conditions, as well as a decrease in muscle efforts during static and dynamic work associated with overcoming gravity under Earth conditions, cause a general muscle underload, a lack of muscle activity and a decrease in the total volume of proprioceptive impulses. These changes lead to impaired coordination of movements and a weakening of the function of the neuromuscular apparatus, a decrease in the intensity of general metabolism, processes of structural and plastic metabolism in the musculoskeletal system, as well as a decrease in the role of the muscular system in the overall hemodynamics of the body.

With a long stay in weightlessness, especially if you do not perform physical exercises, a further decrease in muscle performance will progress in the body, detraining of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems will develop, biological oxidation processes will be disrupted with uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. In a real space flight, the lack of load on the musculoskeletal system manifests itself in cosmonauts in a violation of the coordination of movements, a decrease in muscle effort, a slowdown in the performance of motor acts, and in violation of the proportionality of movements according to effort. Subsequently, functional atrophy of both striated and smooth muscles may appear, which will manifest itself in a decrease in the orthostatic stability of astronauts.

In general, under conditions of prolonged weightlessness, cosmonauts, in addition to the listed deviations, have a decrease in metabolism, a decrease in body weight, inhibition of the functional activity of the neurohumoral and immune systems, which is accompanied by a general asthenia of the body and a decrease in its resistance to the adverse effects of the environment.

The human body, as a complex biological system, from the first minutes of exposure to weightlessness, includes all innate and acquired mechanisms that provide optimal adaptation to an unusual environment of existence. At the same time, all components of adaptation are realized: regulatory, plastic, energy and non-specific.

Adaptation of the astronauts' organism to weightlessness conditions includes 4 subsequent phases (stages): primary adaptive reactions lasting up to 2 days, initial adaptation lasting about a week, relatively stable adaptation lasting up to 4-6 weeks, stable adaptation.

According to psychologists, sound information forms about one-fifth of our perception of the world around us. But is it really so? Even if we do not take into account that people, according to the type of perception, are divided into visuals and auditory (and for latest sound is literally half a kingdom), then even then this statement can be considered conditionally true.

So what is sound? Sound is elastic waves propagating in the medium with frequencies from 16 to 20,000 Hertz, affecting the human hearing aid. Everything seems to be correct and complete enough. However, sounds also exist outside the boundaries of this range: below 16 Hertz are infrasounds, and above 20,000 are ultrasounds. Moreover, someone already “does not hear” both 20 Hertz and 15,000 Hertz, but this does not mean that these vibrations do not exist, and that they do not affect his hearing aid. These fluctuations exist, moreover, they affect not only our hearing aid, but the whole organism as a whole. And, here's the most interesting thing, these sounds beyond our "conscious" perception are very often able to affect our consciousness more than a bolt from the blue in the literal and figurative sense of this expression.

Before delving into the jungle of "otherworldly" sounds, it is worth trampling a little on the threshold of this world and clarify for yourself one moment that unites them all and characterizes them equally. Namely: the strength of sound, or otherwise sound pressure. What is it, and what is it eaten with? Sound pressure is a variable excess pressure that occurs in a medium during the passage of a sound wave (usually sound pressure is small compared to a constant pressure in the medium). The special unit of sound intensity and energy is the decibel (dB). Zero decibel corresponds to a sound pressure of 2 x 10-5 Pa, and is the threshold of hearing. The value of 2 x 102 Pa is the pain threshold. The range perceptible to the human ear includes the sound intensity from 0 to 140 dB. As you understand, 0 dB is complete silence, but 140 dB roughly corresponds to the roar of a jet engine in afterburner from a distance of 5 meters, although only a masochist will voluntarily agree to evaluate this on their own eardrums. Sound levels up to 60 dB are considered comfortable and safe. A sound between 60 and 90 dB can be considered potentially dangerous, as you will only begin to feel its negative effects after prolonged and continuous exposure, but its effects are reversible. If you find yourself in the zone of sound with a strength of 100 to 130 dB, then you are guaranteed a trip to the otolaryngologist, but 140-150 dB can send you straight to the morgue.

Well, let's cross the threshold of audibility and begin our journey through the frequency scale of sounds.

“... On the seventh day they walked around the city seven times. Jesus Novin said to the people, "Shout out, for the Lord has given you the city." And the people cried out, and the trumpets blew, and the city wall collapsed to the ground ... "

Something like this in the Old Testament describes the capture of the city of Jericho by the Israelites - a fortress surrounded by impregnable walls. According to recent studies, infrasound, or rather, the resonance of the building itself under its influence, played an important role in the destruction of the fortress wall of the legendary city. Unfortunately, our organisms and psyche are even more vulnerable to these fluctuations. Infrasonic vibrations of even low intensity cause symptoms similar to concussion (nausea, tinnitus, visual disturbances). Fluctuations in average intensity can cause "non-food" diarrhea and brain dysfunction with the most unexpected consequences. Infrasound of high intensity, entailing resonance, leads to disruption of the work of almost all internal organs, death is possible due to cardiac arrest, or rupture of blood vessels.

Resonance frequencies of the human internal organs:

• 20-30 Hz (head resonance);
• 19 Hz and 40-100 Hz (eye resonance);
• 0.5-13 Hz (resonance of the vestibular apparatus);
• 4-6 Hz (heart resonance);
• 2-3 Hz (stomach resonance);
• 2-4 Hz (intestinal resonance);
• 6-8 Hz (kidney resonance);
• 2-5 Hz (hand resonance).

However, the forbidden fruit is known to be sweet, and therefore the temptation to use it to achieve a certain effect is very great, and there are a great many examples of this. True, the result is always the same - expulsion from "paradise".

At the beginning of the 20th century, the director of one of the London theaters was concerned important point. A new play was about to be staged. One of the scenes took the audience to a distant, disturbing past. What is the best way to express this moment? The famous American physicist Robert Wood came to the aid of the director. He suggested that the director use very low, rumbling sounds: they would create in the auditorium an atmosphere of expectation of something unusual, frightening. To get the "disturbing" sound, Wood designed a special pipe that was attached to the organ. And the very first rehearsal frightened everyone. The trumpet did not make audible sounds, but when the organist pressed the key, the inexplicable happened in the theater: window panes rattled, crystal pendants of candelabra rang. Moreover, everyone who was present at that moment on the stage and in the auditorium felt an unreasonable fear! People living near the theater later confirmed that they had experienced the same thing.

Despite such a "success", already in our century, Wood found successors, and in the same England. An employee of the National Physics Laboratory in England, Dr. Richard Lord, and professor of psychology Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire conducted a rather strange experiment on an audience of 750 people. With the help of a seven-meter pipe, they managed to add ultra-low frequencies to the sound of ordinary acoustic instruments at a classical music concert. After the concert, the audience was asked to describe their impressions. Subjects reported experiencing sudden mood swings, sadness, some goosebumps, some intense fear, and Wiseman stated: "Some scientists believe that subsonic frequencies may be present in places that , according to legend, haunted, and it is infrasound that causes strange impressions usually associated with ghosts - our study confirms these ideas.

More eloquent, so to speak, confirmation of ideas with "ghosts" was the experiment of engineer Vic Tandy from Coventry. He mystified colleagues with a ghost in his laboratory. Visions of gray flashes were accompanied by a feeling of awkwardness among Vic's guests. It turned out that this is the effect of an infrasonic emitter tuned to 18.9 hertz.

Scary, dangerous, deadly - this is how infrasound can be characterized, but a reasonable question immediately arises: “Does infrasound have a positive effect?” There is, but only in the "virtual".

If you listen to a recording of the sacred music of Tibetan monks or Gregorian chant, you can hear how the voices merge, forming one pulsating tone. This is one of the most interesting effects inherent in some musical instruments and a choir of people singing in approximately the same key - the formation of beats. When voices or instruments converge in unison, the beats slow down, and when they diverge, they speed up. Perhaps this effect would have remained in the sphere of interest only of musicians, if not for the researcher Robert Monroe. He realized that, despite the wide popularity in the scientific world of the effect of beats, no one had investigated their effect on the human condition when listening through stereo headphones. Monroe discovered an interesting point: when listening to sounds of a similar frequency on different channels (right and left), a person feels the so-called binaural beats, or binaural rhythms. For example, when one ear hears a pure tone with a frequency of 330 vibrations per second, and the other ear a pure tone with a frequency of 335 vibrations per second, the hemispheres of the brain begin to work together, and as a result, he "hears" beats with a frequency of 335 - 330 = 5 vibrations per second. second, but this is not a real external sound, but a "phantom". It is born in the human brain only with a combination of electromagnetic waves coming from two synchronously working hemispheres of the brain. The brain most easily follows stimuli in the frequency range of 8-25 Hz, but with training this interval can be extended to the entire range of the brain's natural frequencies.

Currently, it is customary to distinguish four main types of electrical oscillations in the human brain, each of which has its own frequency range and the state of consciousness in which it dominates.

Beta waves are the fastest. Their frequency varies in the classical version from 14 to 42 Hz (and according to some modern sources - more than 100 Hz). In a normal waking state, when we observe the world around us with open eyes or are focused on solving some current problems, these waves dominate in our brain mainly in the range from 14 to 40 Hertz. Beta waves are usually associated with wakefulness, awakening, focus, cognition, and, when they are in excess, with anxiety, fear, and panic. A lack of beta waves is associated with depression, poor selective attention, and memory problems.

Alpha waves occur when we close our eyes and begin to passively relax without thinking about anything. At the same time, bioelectrical oscillations in the brain slow down, and “bursts” of alpha waves appear, i.e. fluctuations in the range from 8 to 13 Hertz. If we continue to relax without focusing our thoughts, alpha waves will begin to dominate the entire brain, and we will fall into a state of pleasant tranquility, which is also called the “alpha state”. Research has shown that alpha brain stimulation is ideal for assimilating new information, any material that should always be ready in your memory. On the electroencephalogram (EEG) of a healthy, not under the influence of stress person, there are always a lot of alpha waves. Lack of them can be a sign of stress, inability to adequate rest and effective learning, as well as evidence of brain disorders or illness. It is in the alpha state that the human brain produces more beta-endorphins and enkephalins - its own "drugs" responsible for joy, relaxation and pain reduction. Also, alpha waves are a kind of bridge between consciousness and the subconscious - they provide their connection.

Theta waves occur when a calm, peaceful wakefulness turns into sleepiness. The oscillations in the brain become slower and more rhythmic, ranging from 4 to 8 Hertz. This state is also called "twilight", because in it a person is between sleep and wakefulness. Often it is accompanied by the vision of unexpected images, similar to those that are born in dreams. They are accompanied by vivid memories, especially childhood ones. The theta state allows access to the contents of the unconscious part of the mind, free associations, unexpected insights, creative ideas. On the other hand, the theta range (4-7 oscillations per second) is ideal for non-critical acceptance of external attitudes, since its rhythms reduce the action of the corresponding protective mental mechanisms and allow transforming information to penetrate deep into the subconscious. That is, in order for messages designed to change your behavior or attitude to others to penetrate the subconscious mind without being subjected to the critical evaluation inherent in the waking state, it is best to impose them on the rhythms of the theta range. This psychophysiological state (similar to hypnotic states in the pattern of distribution and combination of electrical potentials of the brain) in 1848 Frenchman Maury gave the name "hypnagogic" (from the Greek hipnos - sleep and agnogeus - conductor, leader). Using theta brain stimulation, in just three weeks, you can learn to achieve creative states anytime, anywhere you want.

Delta waves begin to dominate when we fall asleep. They are even slower than theta waves because they have a frequency of less than 4 oscillations per second. Most of us, when delta waves dominate the brain, are either in a sleepy state or in another unconscious state. However, there is growing evidence that some people can be in a delta state, while being perfectly aware of what is happening around them. It is generally associated with deep trance or "non-physical" states. It is noteworthy that it is in this state that our brain secretes largest quantities growth hormone, and in the body the processes of self-healing and self-healing are most intensive.

Recent studies have established that as soon as a person shows a real interest in something, the power of the bioelectrical activity of the brain in the delta range increases significantly (along with beta activity).

Modern methods of computer analysis of the electrical activity of the brain have made it possible to establish that in the waking state the brain contains frequencies of absolutely all ranges, and the more efficient the brain is, the greater the coherence (synchronism) of oscillations is observed in all ranges in the symmetrical zones of both hemispheres of the brain. The use of binaural beats is very simple and at the same time powerful tool effects on the bioelectrical activity of the brain. There have been a lot of studies that have proven their effectiveness for a number of applications, in particular for accelerated learning. For example, in a study by Richard Kennerly, it was shown that a soundtrack with superimposed binaural beats in the beta range (faster than 14 vibrations per second) caused a significant improvement in memory in students.

Everything is more or less clear with infrasound, but what about ultrasound? Paradoxically, it was thanks to ultrasound that people with hearing impairments were able to cross the threshold of silence and fill their lives with sounds in the same way as most of us. The theory states that the brain uses a holographic coding system so that it is able to multifacetedly encode sensory signals through all the senses. Therefore, any stimulus, like sound, for example, can be transmitted through any other sense organ, so that the brain can recognize the incoming signal as sound, using a type of signal code specific to sound.

It seems that, unwittingly, Patrick Flanagan made a significant contribution to confirming this theory. While still a teenager, he invented a device that allows any person (even completely deaf, even with a surgically removed middle ear, and, moreover, even with a completely atrophied auditory nerve) to hear through the skin. Patrick called his device "Neurophone".

The first Neurophone was released when Patrick was only 14 years old, in 1958. The device was tested on a man who became deaf as a result of meningitis of the spinal cord. The experiment turned out to be successful, and the next day an article was published about the neurophone as a potential hearing aid for the deaf. Patrick's fame grew every year. In 1962, he starred in Gary Moore's television program Ive got a Secret Show. Before the eyes of the whole of America, young Patrick attached the Neurophone electrodes to ... the charming ass of fashion model Bess Meyerson. As a result, the model was able to hear a poem recorded on tape by another guest of the TV show, Andy Griffith. During playback, his voice sounded as if inside Meyerson's head, but she did not understand what had been done to her.

Patrick Flanagan discovered the second ear canal in 1958. It conducts ultrasonic waves through bones, bodily fluids, or through the skin to a newly discovered new organ of hearing. The tool for receiving ultrasonic vibrations is a small organ in the brain known as the labyrinth (organ of balance) - the most important part of the vestibular apparatus. This organ is about the size of a snowflake. The labyrinth is used by the body to perceive gravity. It is filled with fluid and has fine hairs that expand towards the base. When the position of the head changes, the movement of the fluid stimulates the hairs, telling us where we are leaning.

Skin has piezoelectric properties. If you apply vibration to it or rub it, it generates electrical signals and plane waves. When you use Neurophone, the skin vibrates at an amplitude modulated ultrasonic carrier frequency of 40 kHz and translates into sound electrical signals that go to the brain through numerous channels. Crystals, which have piezoelectric properties, contract and expand at a frequency equal to the frequency of the electric current flowing through their surface. Vibration from the crystals is mechanically transmitted to the skin at a carrier frequency of 40 kHz Neurophone. When Neurophone emitters are pressed against the skin, or when they are connected together, they vibrate in two modes. One is a normal sound, the second is an ultrasound that can only be heard by the skin or through bone conduction. When the "headphones" from Neurophone are brought into contact with the skin, the ultrasonic voice or music begins to be perceived by the labyrinth instead of the snail.

The choice in favor of ultrasound, apparently, is not accidental. Recent studies have established that, it turns out, we live in a world of ultrasonic vibrations. Even when a person is just walking on the grass, ultrasound is generated. Each tree is an ultrasound generator that it uses to pump water through capillaries from the roots to the top. And, finally, ultrasonic vibrations with a frequency of 28,000 Hertz were recorded from human palms. The key to understanding the work of Neurophone lies in the stimulation of the nerve endings of the skin with discrete coded signals, which, according to the holographic model of the brain, have such phase relationships that they are recognized by any nerve in the body as sounds.

The described effect is also observed at other frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. The reality is that in the entire range of electromagnetic radiation there are so-called "windows" - the resonant frequencies of certain physiological circuits human body. At frequencies from the "windows" or their harmonics, similar effects are observed. In this case, the higher the carrier frequency, the more information you can "download" it. For example, few people know an anecdotal incident that occurred in the United States during top-secret tests of stealth aircraft ("Stealth"). When the housewives of a small town located not far from a secret air base were washing clothes in enameled basins (which, by the way, looked like a parabolic antenna in shape and in some qualities), they began to hear in their heads the conversations of the pilots with the air base. The thing is that the carrier frequency of radio stations, for reasons of secrecy, was chosen non-standard and turned out to be equal to one of the resonant frequencies of the body.

At the risk of sowing gloomy suspicions in the reader, I note that all psychotronic weapons are based on the use of the “windows” effect. But not everything is so smooth with ultrasound. It is known that DNA is a complex structure with holographic properties, interacting with electromagnetic and acoustic waves, as well as emitting them. When specially irradiated with a laser, DNA molecules emit a specific ordered discrete radiation that carries information about the structure of the DNA itself. But this effect completely stopped if the preparations were exposed to ultrasound (25 kHz, power 6.6 W/cm) for 10-15 s at a distance of 1-2 cm from the source of the acoustic field. After that, the radio sound became monotonous and practically did not differ from the background.

During operations on cancerous tumors with ultrasonic scalpels, in 30-40% of cases, the perverted genetic information provided by oncogenes is “erased”, which leads to the interruption of metastases. This serves as the basis for the development of fundamentally new methodologies for "wave surgery" of oncological patients, and, more broadly, for "wave medicine".

But if harmful information is erased in this way, will the necessary information also be erased? Definitely difficult to say, and therefore it is worth adhering to the saying: "God protects the safe."

Ecology of consciousness. Life: The natural form of movement of all parts of the universe is vibration. The human body and all...

The natural form of movement of all parts of the universe is vibration. The human body and everything that surrounds it is no exception to this rule.

The cumulative frequency depends on many factors:

• from the state of the body on the quality of the food
• bad habits,hygiene,
• connection with the surrounding nature, climate, seasons,
• on the quality of feelings, purity of thoughts and other factors.

If several objects are close in their vibrational frequencies, they resonate and amplify each other's vibrations, a synergistic effect appears, that is each object receives additional interaction energy.

If objects have disparate frequencies, then an object with more energy can suppress the vibrations of a weaker object. In radio engineering, this is called the "capture phenomenon". And in the human body this is how the disease develops under the influence of pathogenic factors.

Our life and health depends on how we can “absorb” vibrations that are beneficial for us, resonate at the frequencies of the universe that are consonant with us, and reject harmful vibrations that suppress our life force.

Part frequency studies human body using modern spectral analysis instruments (research by Dr. Robert Becker) give the following data:

1. The average frequency of the human body during the daytime is 62-68 MHz.

2. Frequency of body parts healthy person in the range of 62-78 MHz, if the frequency drops, then the immune system has suffered damage.

3. The main frequency of the brain can be within 80-82MHz.

4. Brain frequency range 72-90 MHz.

5. Normal brain frequency is 72 MHz.

6. The frequency of the human body parts: from the neck up lies in the range of 72-78 MHz.

7. The frequency of the human body parts: from the neck down lies in the range of 60-68 MHz.

8. The frequency of the thyroid gland and parathyroid glands 62-68 MHz.

9. Thymus frequency 65-68 MHz.

10. Heart rate 67-70 MHz.

11. Light frequency 58-65 MHz.

12. Liver frequency 55-60 MHz.

13. Frequency of the pancreas 60-80 MHz.

14. The frequency of the bones is 43 MHz, at this frequency the bones do not have their own immunity, despite their hardness. They are protected by soft tissues with a higher natural frequency.

Cold and flu will start in a person if the frequency drops to 57-60 MHz,

If the frequency falls below 58 MHz, any disease occurs, depending on its pathogenic source.

Fungal infections grow when the frequency drops below 55 MHz

susceptibility to cancer occurs at a frequency of 42 MHz

Frequency drop to 25 MHz - collapse, death.

Special protection measures must be taken against the occurrence of sound vibrations with the following frequencies, because coincidence of frequencies leads to resonance:

20-30 Hz (head resonance)
40-100 Hz (eye resonance)
0.5-13 Hz (resonance of the vestibular apparatus)
4-6 Hz (heart resonance)
2-3 Hz (stomach resonance)
2-4 Hz (gut resonance)
6-8 Hz (kidney resonance)
2-5 Hz (hand resonance).

When do destructive vibrations arise?

It turns out that they appear in a person as a result of the action of his negative personal qualities or emotions:

• grief gives vibrations - from 0.1 to 2 hertz;
• fear from 0.2 to 2.2 hertz;
• resentment - from 0.6 to 3.3 hertz;
• irritation - from 0.9 to 3.8 hertz; ;
• perturbation - from 0.6 to 1.9 hertz;
• self - gives vibrations of a maximum of 2.8 hertz;
• irascibility (anger) - 0.9 hertz;
• a flash of rage - 0.5 hertz; anger - 1.4 hertz;
• pride - 0.8 hertz; pride - 3.1 hertz;
• neglect - 1.5 hertz;
• superiority - 1.9 hertz,
• pity - 3 hertz.

If a person lives with feelings, then he has completely different vibrations:

• compliance - from 38 hertz and above;
• acceptance of the World as it is, without indignation and other negative emotions - 46 hertz;
• generosity - 95 hertz;
• gratitude vibrations - 45 hertz;
• heartfelt gratitude - from 140 hertz and above;
• unity with other people - 144 hertz and above;
• compassion - from 150 hertz and above (and pity is only 3 hertz);
• love, which is called the head, that is, when a person understands that love is a good, bright feeling and great strength, but it’s still impossible to love with the heart - 50 hertz;
• love that a person generates with his heart for all people and all living things without exception - from 150 hertz and above;
• love is unconditional, sacrificial, accepted in the universe - from 205 hertz and above.

I would like to learn more about such studies, if any. Thank you in advance!

Yes, it's confirmed scientific research. When water is exposed to other influences, such as electromagnetic, acoustic fields, etc., it reacts to them and cannot retain its originally acquired properties and information. This is due to the fact that water molecules, connecting with each other through short-lived hydrogen bonds, form closed structures consisting of tens and even hundreds of water molecules - water associates, or clusters that are able to respond to external influences. In addition, water molecules can additionally take on a variety of states of vibration and rotation. Presumably, this is the possibility of preserving information by water.

The fact that water has a memory for various chemical and physical (energy) effects and can be a kind of information carrier has recently been gaining increasing recognition in the scientific world. Vibrations of water molecules can be registered spectroscopically and, depending on the frequency, can be beneficial or harmful to the organism.

The frequencies of vibrations found in water, which are unfavorable for the body:

1.8 Hz - corresponds to water containing heavy metals, also registered in cancerous tissues;

5.0 Hz - causes apathy and nausea in many people;

32.5 Hz is the normal frequency for a quartz watch (shifting to a 1.0 MHz quartz watch is desirable, however this is currently quite expensive).

Frequencies useful for the body include 1.2 Hz, 2.5 Hz, 10.0 Hz, as well as a frequency of 7.8 Hz, which is present in nature and is called the Schumann frequency, which plays an important role in brain function.

Water, according to some researchers, is a two-phase system - a crystalline liquid with intense crystal formation processes, intermolecular bonds (hydrogen bonds) with the formation of conglomerates of hundreds of molecules and an infinite number of possible forms of the liquid crystalline phase in water, which is called a complex lattice structure. Such a lattice system has a lot of different oscillations and forms a large number of natural frequencies. Such a frequency spectrum is a physical copy of the geometric structure of water and undergoes characteristic changes during certain life processes."

The most striking example is the action of low-intensity millimeter-wave electromagnetic radiation (EHF radiation), which has been intensively studied over the past 25 years throughout the world on various biological objects (from bacteria to human tissues and organs) and water-based model systems.

Review existing works on the action of millimeter waves on biological objects indicates the possibility of the existence of mechanisms for the interaction of EHF waves with cells of plant or animal origin, which affect the fundamental aspects of their life and the functioning of cell membranes.

The fact that in all living substances the percentage of water content is very high determined the direction of the search for the primary mechanisms of EMR EHF interaction with biological objects. However, since the latter are highly organized structures, this can lead to certain difficulties in identifying the mechanisms of exposure to radiation, since the high organization of the system significantly complicates the picture of its response to external influences. The problem of EHF impact on water is part of the general problem of the impact of weak external factors of different physical nature, such as electromagnetic waves, radio waves, etc.

The primary target of any radiation is water. The fact that water plays an essential role in the process of interaction of electromagnetic oscillations with biological objects has long been known. For example, it was experimentally found that the action of ultra-high frequency radiation stimulates the formation of hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2 in water. This means that it must contain a sufficient amount of OH - radicals. The same fact of the presence of H 2 O 2 is also observed when water is exposed to radiation, which, although it has an electromagnetic nature, is more rigid (its quantum has a higher energy) than EMP EHF.

In addition, water is a source of its own ultra-weak and weak variable electromagnetic radiation. The least chaotic electromagnetic radiation is created by structured water. In this case, the induction of the corresponding electromagnetic field can occur, which changes the structural and informational characteristics of biological objects.

Since the electromagnetic radiation of the EHF range is strongly absorbed by water, and living objects contain a lot of water, the main effect of radiation should be observed near the boundary on which the radiation falls, and sharply weaken as we move away from it. However, experiments with a protein solution did not confirm this. The researchers found that the result of EHF exposure does not depend on depth, or on the distance to the boundary. Water was exposed to electromagnetic radiation in a wide frequency range (from 4 to 100 GHz), and its response was observed in the decimeter wave range with a frequency of about 1 GHz (1 GHz = 10 9 Hz). In the 1 GHz band, the self-radiation of water was recorded.

One of the results of these studies was the presence of resonances in water at frequencies of 50.8 and 51.3 GHz, i.e. under the action of EMP EHF with such frequencies, a sharp increase in the power of its own radiation in the 1 GHz band was observed. These frequency values ​​are in good agreement with theoretical calculations based on the hexagonal structure of water.

When studying the impact of EMR EHF on biological objects and identifying the primary mechanisms of this impact, it is necessary to take into account the cluster structure of water. At a phase boundary (a section between water and gas or water and a solid body or, for example, a living tissue), clusters line up along the corresponding boundary and unite in their motion. This structure has a large dipole moment, which means that it must both respond to an external electromagnetic field and itself be a source of electromagnetic radiation of a certain frequency during thermal motion.
