Electromagnetic and acoustic waves and their influence on brain processes.
Please help to collect in this topic as much links and data as is possible.
Experimental data, theoretical researches etc. Fantastic ideas...
The role of music and acoustic noise is of special interest along with electromagnetic waves of various frequencies.
Thank you all in advance.
This is a topic I'm interested in discussing more, since I had no real insight into my own experience with brain states:
http://brainmeta.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15632&hl=
The music of the spheres was discredited long ago as pseudoscience and yet it is becoming apparent that celestial bodies have their own 'songs' and electrostatic radiation. There are articles on the Suns music, along with Jupiter and other planetary bodies. In the beginning was the Word, and that word was God. Aum/Om is the sound creation made in the beginning. Chanting Aum whilst meditating apparently helps the meditator to enter altered states of consciousness easier due to the resonance of the word. In my humble opinion, it seems sound is the force bringing form from the void.
The power of music and sound should not be underestimated. How many times in your life have you had rushes of energy and actual bodily changes going on when you hear a song that resonates with you. Hairs standing up on the back of your neck is one example. Why do animals have their own songs and dance, and why are these related to courtship. Love is the biggest theme in song lyrics and this should not be taken as circumstantial evidence. Hundreds and thousands of years of cultural evolution and some people are still blind to the evidence.

Thank you for feadback Trojan.
I really look for usefull links on the subject.

Everything in the universe has its core vibration or innermost song... Different states of consciousness have different vibrational frequencies...
Fascinating research done on circadian rythms:
Circadian entrainment is still existent in blind animals. The entrainment happens through a light sensitive, rod and cone independent mechanism.

Rodents blind from outer retinal (rod and cone) degeneration still retain several light-dependent phenomena, including entrainment of the circadian clock and pupillary light responsiveness. This paradox is explained by the presence of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the inner retina. These cells have unique properties, including a novel action spectrum, resistance to bleaching and adaptation under continuous light, and resistance to vitamin A depletion. Two candidate classes of photopigment have been proposed: melanopsin and cryptochromes. Physiologic analysis of circadian entrainment and pupillary light responsiveness in mice lacking these proteins leads to three conclusions: (1) outer and inner retinal photoreceptors provide partially redundant information to the inner retina, (2) melanopsin is required for inner retinal phototransduction in the absence of rod and cone signaling, and (3) cryptochromes contribute to the amplitude of inner retinal phototransduction but are not strictly required.

Yap. If they can be parted on bands... The song without decoding sounds like a noise.
This approach is a base of the scientific part of the Hermetic Phylosophy.

I should say it is a fantastic and great research. Thank you a lot for the data!

Never mind I like to google things via key words.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Two important optionals
A) Cell phones effect on brain. Any ideas?
Frequency ranges
How to shield?
How Cell phones affect air quality in a room?
If one wears a metallic item on/or near once head does it have any effect on thinking processes?

I know there's a variety research looking at performance (visuo-motor, cognitive function etc) and simulated/real cell phone emf emissions.

Thank you very much Orbz for the references, will master to look over them
I have my own observations:
1) Some people using Cell Phones develop some slowness in behavior and reaction.
2) The speech of some becomes slow.
3) Some become pathetic.
But just SOME people, it is not a rule.
I just feel that the effect is quite negative.
E.g. when I sleep at room where the cell phone is located I sleep not so well as in room without a cell phone located inside.
It may turn to be a psychological effect.
Nonetheless I think that the influence is very significant, we just do not note it.

But human beings are adaptive creatures, I think we will adapt and develop some protective biochemistry in our organisms absorbing waves.
