NARC President Discusses Potential Applications for Neuro-Pathways Soundscape Technology
DELRAY BEACH, FL (PRWEB) February 18, 2004
In his opening comments, at the National Medical & Research InstituteÂs Conference on Innovations in Healthcare held in Freeport, Grand Bahamas, this past weekend, Sewak suggested that: ÂThe reasons for this response are physiological. Each ear is (in effect) Âhardwired to both hemispheres of the brain. Each hemisphere has its own olivary nucleus (sound-processing center) that receives signals from each of the ears. In keeping with this physiological structure, when a binaural beat is perceived there are actually two standing waves of equal amplitude and frequency present, one in each hemisphere, from each ear. So, there are two separate standing waves entraining portions of each hemisphere to the same frequency. Thus, the resultant binaural beats and, in turn, an apparent increase in hemispheric synchronization which can be evidenced in and at various states of consciousness. Brain function may also be dramatically enhanced by way of increased communication between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, through the corpus callosumÂ.
The binaural-beats appear to be associated with electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency-following responses in the brain. Studies by Neuro Acoustic Research Corp, as well as many others, have demonstrated the presence of a frequency-following response to auditory stimuli, which have been recorded at the vertex of the human brain (top of the head). This EEG activity was termed “frequency-following response” because its period corresponds to the fundamental frequency of the stimulus.
Our brain cells reset their sodium & potassium ratios when the brain is in a Theta (daydreaming) state. The sodium & potassium levels are involved in osmosis — the chemical process that transports chemicals into and out of your brain cells. After an extended period in a Beta (aroused activity) state, the ratio between potassium and sodium goes out of balance. This is main cause of what is referred to as “mental fatigue”. With a brief period in Theta (about 5 – 15min), one can restore the ratio to normal, resulting in mental refreshment and physical repair.
ÂPotential applications for our Soundscapes, with embedded binaural beats, mixed in with music, harmonies and various pink or other background sounds, special frequencies and other production mechanisms, are diverse. The uses covers a very wide spectrum and range from  relapse prevention to Dystonia, from  fibromyalgia to stress reduction, from — pain management to insomnia and the list goes on continued Sewak,  however, the most intriguing aspect of what weÂve been able to do, in and with our Soundscape matrix, is to control the movement through various brain wave states and to maintain a given state over a specified period. Which, to our knowledge, is the first time that this has ever been achieved in this mannerÂ.
About Neuro Acoustic Research Corp:
For the past 14 years, the NARC team has lead the way in scientific research and developments in the field of sound technology. Clearing new paths in the emerging field of psychoneuroimmunology and establishing bio-technological entry points in a wide range of diverse treatment areas (i.e. tinnitus, insomnia, chronic pain, Dystonia, etc.) and methods. The firm is committed to the continuing the pursuit of new and innovative uses for the science and the art of sound technology.
Innovations like their neuro-pathways recovery system are unique. This palliative intervention, designed to address Relapse Prevention — one of the most difficult dilemmas of substance abuse and addiction recovery — in a non-pharmacological, effective, non-invasive, safe, non-compliant, efficient and easy way. Acknowledged as being one, if not the Âonly relapse prevention tools ever to be developed, this fascinating program is both complimentary and compatible to all forms of addiction treatment known and being used today.
