Amazing new device lets you listen to music - with your hands
|
|
|
|
Japanese scientists have developed an astonishing new tape deck that
|
|
incredibly allows people to listen to music through their hands -
|
|
instead of using their ears!
|
|
|
|
The clever device, called SILENT NIGHTS, is expected to have many
|
|
applications. For one thing, college students and other people who
|
|
like to stay up late will be able to listen to music without
|
|
disturbing their family members or snoring roommates.
|
|
|
|
It is also expected to be a boon for the deaf, many of whom will
|
|
hear music and voices with crystal clarity for the first time in
|
|
their lives.
|
|
|
|
"Silent Nights is THE sound system of the 1990's," said Takeo
|
|
Nakamura, head of the team of acoustics experts who developed the
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
"Unlike headphones and loudspeakers, which distort sound, Silent
|
|
Nights delivers pure music to the brain. And because nobody else
|
|
hears it, you can listen without disturbing a soul."
|
|
|
|
Silent Nights looks like an oversized cassette deck but that's where
|
|
the similarity ends. Instead of having speakers, the machine is
|
|
equipped with two palm-sized metal plates that deliver sound through
|
|
the listener's hands.
|
|
|
|
Nakamura refuses to say exactly how the device works. But he
|
|
acknowledged that it generates tiny electrical impulses that "push"
|
|
music into the nerves of the fingers and palms.
|
|
|
|
The nervous system delivers these impulses to the brain, he added,
|
|
where the music is heard in spite of the fact that there's not any
|
|
external sound.
|
|
|
|
Nakamura said: "My partners and I are negotiating with several
|
|
manufacturers and hope to have Silent Nights in production and on
|
|
the world market by August or September at the absolute latest."

Silent Nights is expected to retail for under $200. Discounts could
|
|
drop the price to the $150 range, Nakamura said.

|
Vangard Note...
|
|
|
|
This device is highly reminiscent of Pat Flanagan's Neurophone.
|
|
Though sound can be passed through the body using bone
|
|
conduction, the article states that electrical impulses are the
|
|
key to the device.
|
|
|
|
For those who study such matters, we can see definite mind
|
|
control possibilities as well as learning enhancement and habit
|
|
conditioning.
|
|
|
|
The basis of Flanagan's machine is detailed in MIND9 on KeelyNet
|
|
courtesy of Bob Paddock. Flanagan's machine sold for about
|
|
$1000 since they were built in limited quantities. We
|
|
understand that they are no longer available but we were offered
|
|
two used Mark IV's for $1000 each at a conference several years
|
|
ago. So we find the price reduction on Silent Nights to be
|
|
quite exciting.
|
|
|
|
If the device does accidentally resonate with the nervous
|
|
system, then we should see some "anomalous" phenomena beyond the
|
|
expectations of the inventors.
|
|
|
|
We would greatly appreciate any information you might come
|
|
across on either the technology, advertising or general claims
|
|
of devices in this area.
