Method and system for reproducing a progresive or regressive pattern of sonic variations
First Claim
1. A method for improving cognitive function of a fetus in utero in a woman;
- comprising the steps of;
determining a pattern of sonic variations, said pattern comprising a plurality of sequences of tones, each sequence being repeated at a predetermined tempo; and
transmitting each of said sequences of tones in soundwave form to said fetus during different periods within the term of the pregnancy, wherein said tempo at which each subsequent said sequence of tones is repeated is selected to be increased during the term of the pregnancy.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for increasing the cognitive function in a fetus. The system transmits a pattern of sonic variations to the fetus. The pattern of sonic variations is formed of a plurality of sequences of tones in which each sequence is repeated at a predetermined tempo. Each sequence of tones is selected to be transmitted to the fetus at a predetermined time during the term of the pregnancy. Preferably, each subsequent sequence of tones is selected to be repeated at increasing tempo during the term of the pregnancy, thereby providing a progressive pattern of sonic variations. A similar system and method can be used for improving the cognitive function of a premature baby. In addition, the present invention relates to a system and method for altering the cognitive function in a postnatal human by transmitting aurally or through bone conduction a progressive pattern of sonic variations or a regressive pattern of sonic variations to the wearer of the system.
