Abstract

A system for altering the states of human consciousness involves the simultaneous application of multiple stimuli, preferable sounds, having differing frequencies and wave forms. The relationship between the frequencies of the several stimuli is exhibited by the equation

g=2.sup.n/4 ·f

where:

f=frequency of one stimulus;

g=frequency of the other stimuli or stimulus; and

n=a positive or negative integer which is different for each other stimulus.

Claims

1. A method of making a sound recording comprising the steps of producing and recording a first sound having a uniform frequency and a distinctive wave form, and simultaneously producing and recording on the same record a second sound having a different wave form and having a frequency which is related to the frequency of the first sound by the equation:

space="preserve" listing-type="equation">g=2.sup.n/4 ·

f

wherein;

f=the frequency of the first sound;

g=the frequency of the second sound; and

n=a positive or negative integer.

2. The recording produced by the method of claim 1.
