Music & Neurology: Notes & Neurons

Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus

Is our response to music hard-wired or culturally determined? Is the reaction to rhythm and melody universal or influenced by environment? John Schaefer, scientist Daniel Levitin, and musical artist Bobby McFerrin engage in live performances and cross-cultural demonstrations to illustrate music’s noteworthy interaction with the brain and our emotions.

Notes and Neurons Jam Session

Bobby McFerrin and Daniel Levitin join musical guests Naren Budhkar, Parag Chordia, and Amber Docters van Leeuwen in an improvised jam session to commemorate the end of the program “Notes and Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus.”

Science of Sound: in the womb, humans hear before seeing

Good Vibrations: The Science of Sound

We look around us—constantly. But how often do we listen around us? Sound is critically important to our bodies and brains, and to the wider natural world.

In the womb, we hear before we see.

Join John Schaefer, Jamshed Bharucha, Christopher Shera, the Danish sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard and multi-instrumentalists Polygraph Lounge for a fascinating journey through the nature of sound.

How we perceive it, how it acts upon us and how it profoundly affects our well-being—including a demonstration of sounds produced by sources as varied as the human inner ear and the creation of the universe itself.

Boiling water with sound !

Peter Davey – Sonic Resonance Boiler

Sax notes lead to off-beat boiler.
Let us imagine a revolutionary heater for water powered by electricity, which bits all possible records. For example, it makes water boil almost instantly and in the entire volume.

The inventor claimed that it apparently consumes much less electricity than the value of heat it generates. It is safe in use – means if properly installed one can touch it, as well as touch water it boils, without a danger of electrocuting, in turn when the entire boiled water evaporates, the heater becomes cold by itself and does not initiate any fire.

Furthermore, there are premises which suggest that this heater probably also telekinetises the boiled water thus turning it into almost miraculous “water of life”. In turn, as we know (e.g. from mythology and folklore), such miraculous “water of life” has capability to heal, increases the life longevity, improves taste, conserves food, etc. Thus, these people who drink such “water of life”, may gain from it not only good health and increased longevity, but also improved taste and greater usability of everything that is based on it. But the boiler described here bits also completely different record.

Namely, the world record of it is, that a phenomenon called the curse of inventors that secretly affect inventors and discoverers, effectively blocked the implementation of this invention to an industrial production for over 60 years. And this blocking is carried out in spite that the invention displays potentials to positively revolutionise principles of liquids heating, that probably it telekinetises water which it boils, and also that the technical capabilities and pioneering principles of operation allow this invention to lift significantly the civilisation level in the entire humanity.

Micheal Tellingenger on NZ Mans invention to Boil Water with Frequency

Peter Davey, 94 year old NZ musician – Michael Tellinger wants him found but I understand Peter died the same year the NZ Media aired his story, 2008. Peter Davey boils water with sound/frequency, this Tellinger says is the technology that will break us free from energy enslavement.

Free energy technologies are available. Set humanity free from it’s enslavement to fossil fuel technologies .

Peter Davey is now dead and his discovery lost. He boiled water with sound.

 

Sound & Water Experiments ! Awesome !!!

Cool Sound and Water Experiment!

This is really simple but has such an awesome effect. Fill a bucket full of water and place it about 5 feet off the ground. Place a subwoofer about 1 foot lower than the bucket. Run a plastic tube from the top bucket down in front of the subwoofer. Tape the tube to the front of the speaker. Then aim the end of the tube to an empty bucket on the floor. Get the water flowing from the top bucket. Now just generate a 24 hz sine wave and set your camera to 24 fps and watch the magic happen. Basically your cameras frame rate is synced up with the rate of the vibrations of the water so it appears to be frozen or still. Now if you play a 23 hz sine wave your frame rate will be off just a little compared to the sine wave causing the water to “move backward” or so as it appears. You can play a 25 hz sine wave and cause the water to move slowly foward.

Really fun experiment. You should definitely give it a try.

Thanks to JacobTMcgarry for giving me the OK to create my own version based on his original video.

Amazing Water & Sound Experiment #2

Ever since I created the first version of this video a year ago I’ve been wanting to try it again with more water and better lighting / footage. This is a really fun project and when you first see the results, chances are your jaw will drop. The main thing to keep in mind for this project is that you need a camera that shoots 24 fps.

The effect that you are seeing can’t be seen with the naked eye. The effect only works through the camera. However, there is a version of the project you can do where the effect would be visible with the naked eye. For that project, you’d have to use a strobe light.

For this project you’ll need:

A powered speaker
Water source
Soft rubber hose
Tone generating software
24 fps camera
Tape.

Run the rubber hose down past the speaker so that the hose touches the speaker. Leave about 1 or 2 inches of the hose hanging past the bottom of the speaker. Secure the hose to the speaker with tape or whatever works best for you. The goal is to make sure the hose is touching the actual speaker so that when the speaker produces sound (vibrates) it will vibrate the hose.

Set up your camera and switch it to 24 fps.  The higher the shutter speed the better the results.  But also keep in the mind that the higher your shutter speed, the more light you need. Run an audio cable from your computer to the speaker.  Set your tone generating software to 24hz and hit play. Turn on the water. Now look through the camera and watch the magic begin.  If you want the water to look like it’s moving backward set the
frequency to 23hz. If you want to look like it’s moving forward in slow motion set it to 25hz.
