The Neurophone is a device permitting you to hear through the skin
|
|
without the signals ever reaching your ears. I.e. the signals are
|
|
transmitted through the nerves and are interpreted in your brain by
|
|
the neurons.
|
|
|
|
From Bearden "Excalibur Briefing" definitions:
|
|
|
|
The neurophone is an instrument for direct electromagnetic input of
|
|
signals into the human brain and nervous system. Invented by Dr. Pat
|
|
Flanagan. His latest version clips an input signal into square
|
|
waves, differentiates it twice, then feeds the resulting noisy
|
|
spikes into the human sensory system. The original signal is
|
|
impressed into the brain and directly into the mind.
|
|
|
|
According to Bearden, an adaptation using more than 11 independent
|
|
frequencies and built in accord with work by the Soviet Lisitsyn
|
|
could conceivably be used to accomplish human mind linkage. Lisitsyn
|
|
paper is said to refer to 11 independent channels in the brainwaves
|
|
(namely, in the mind-life-consciousness connection to the waves of
|
|
dendrite firings that make the brainwaves) and these were
|
|
specifically referred to clipped signals (not sines).
|
|
|
|
For those who don't understand the differentiation process, it means
|
|
that the output is proportional to the variation of signal strength
|
|
at its input. (the diagram below shows how the signal is altered
|
|
and fed into the electrodes)

|
|
It will directly feed the brain and reproduce sound and information
|
|
directly in the brain and mind system, without going through the
|
|
auditory system at all. The electrodes are normally placed one on
|
|
the forehead and the other one almost anywhere, including on the
|
|
foot.
|
|
|
|
The square wave clipper reduces the complex signals, their
|
|
overtones, and their modulations to square waves, retaining the
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
temporal content. When the signal is introduced in the body as
|
|
pulsed voltages, they are modulated directly on the dendrites firing
|
|
of the brain and nervous system, providing direct and pulse
|
|
modulation of the mindfield component channels.
|
|
|
|
Two researchers at the University of Missouri: Dr. Donald York
|
|
(neurophysiologist) and Dr. Thomas Jensen (Speech pathologist) have
|
|
reported identifying and decoding 27 words and syllables in specific
|
|
brain wave patterns and correlating these EEG patterns with both
|
|
spoken and silently thought words in about 40 subjects. (Tales of
|
|
mind reading!)
|
|
|
|
There are also 2 patents involved:
|
|
|
|
USP 3,393,279 Nervous System Excitation Device (16 Jul 1968)
|
|
by Gillis Patrick Flanagan
|
|
|
|
USP 3,647,970 Method and System for Simplifying Speech Waveforms
|
|
(7 Mar 1972) by Gillis P. Flanagan
|
|
|
|
The information package from Rex research has some excellent
|
|
reprints about it. One article was "BioCybernetics II" by G. Harry
|
|
Stine in Analog Science Fact/Fiction (date unknown). At one time,
|
|
DARPA would have loked at it as a possible way of computer
|
|
recognition of EEG patterns. Flanagan initially found the principle
|
|
while playing with electronic stuff in his parent's home when he was
|
|
a 17 year old. It was a proof of principle demo of a direct linkage
|
|
between a crystalline electronic circuit and the colloidal system of
|
|
the human nervous system.
|
|
|
|
(I think the author meant solid state when he said crystalline,
|
|
although I'm more confused because he also says that the pioneer
|
|
setup was using 6L6 vacuum tubes running as a 35 KHz oscillator.
|
|
Also, I'm not sure about the "colloidal" characterization of the
|
|
nervous system. Anybody knowledgeable in biology out there?)
|
|
|
|
The output of the oscillator was amplitude-modulated by the output
|
|
of any single channel audio system through suitable impedance
|
|
matching transformers, etc. The 35 KHz signal was then stepped up to
|
|
4,000 volts but at very high impedance to a length of twin-lead TV
|
|
antenna wire, to then be fed to electrodes taken from a muscle
|
|
relaxing device. The electrodes were made of 1/16 inch rubber sheet,
|
|
a piece of copper window screen, and rubber to cover the screen to
|
|
prevent electrical shocks.
|
|
|
|
From the patents, there are many adjustments involved. However, the
|
|
article says: put a signal into the neurophone input, peak the
|
|
frequency, peak the modulation to 100%, and hold the electrodes to
|
|
your body, anywhere. And you'll hear the sounds/music playing in
|
|
your head. It worked better on the bare skin but it would also work
|
|
through a layer of clothing.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Henry Puharich is said to have developed a similar device but
|
|
the pads were one inch copper plates that had to be rubbed along the
|
|
skin to achieve his "fricative effect" to work.
|
|
|
|
From some experiments conducted at the Huyck Research Center in
|
|
Stamford, Connecticut in June 1963, it was shown that the neurophone
|
|
effect was not the result of
|
|
|
|
Page 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) the pads acting as electrostatic loudspeaker,
|
|
b) the pads exciting bone conduction of the sound, or
|
|
c) the pads activating the 8th Cranial Nerve.
|
|
|
|
He says: We now know that it operates by direct linkage of the
|
|
electronic circuitry with the nervous system through electromagnetic
|
|
fields. Yet, we don't know how Flanagan cracked the neural code for
|
|
audio data transmission to the proper sector of the brain.
|
|
|
|
What happened to the neurophone?
|
|
|
|
The Huyck Research Center considered that it could not get a patent
|
|
position because they were already very busy with all sorts of
|
|
patents and production problems: after all, there is a limit to how
|
|
much new development can be absorbed by a company at one time.
|
|
Anyway, they completely wrote off their corporate research program.
|
|
|
|
Dr. Wayne Batteau (now deceased) had also done considerable work in
|
|
that area. The last he heard of Flanaga, he was somewhere in
|
|
California as one of the top experts in pyramidology.
|
|
|
|
Big science did not kill it but it was complacent and Academia was
|
|
never consulted. At the time of the article, the nueurophone was
|
|
said to have been dormant for 14 years. By now, it should be clearly
|
|
in the public domain as the patents protection expires after 17
|
|
years. That also means that someone who would start making them
|
|
could also be quickly copied, with all the impact that ensues.
|
|
|
|
There was an article published in "Innergy News" in June 1980. It
|
|
said that the neurophone had been out for nearly 5 months. Several
|
|
people had reported that their ability to remember data is
|
|
increasing.
|
|
|
|
It also mentions that Dr. Sheldon Deal of Tucson, the president of
|
|
the Intnl College of Applied Kinesiology, had published a paper on
|
|
neurophone research. The title of the paper was "Meridian Balancing
|
|
by Use of the Neurophone" and it was reproduced in its entirety in
|
|
the June 80 issue of Innergy news.
|
|
|
|
The skin is said to be both piezo electric and opto electric, that
|
|
is when it is stimulated by an electric or photon field, it
|
|
vibrates. If mechanically stimulated, it will generate its own
|
|
electric and photon field. Blind people had been trained to see with
|
|
their fingers in Russia. Deaf people have been trained to hear with
|
|
their fingertips. (without the neurophone).
|
|
|
|
Dr. Flanagan is also the author of the book "Pyramid Power". The
|
|
device would use some hyperspatial nested modulation technology. The
|
|
square waves used are analogous to the clipped waves that Lisitsyn
|
|
confirmed as carriers of the human brain waves. (remember the 11
|
|
channels of the brain?) The electrodes were made of zirconium
|
|
titanate imbedded in acrylic to provide maximum impedance match to
|
|
the skin.
|
|
|
|
With his research with Dr. Batteau, Dr. Flanagan found that the
|
|
nervous system uses time ratios as major sources of intelligent
|
|
information. It was found that speech intelligibility was contained
|
|
in time dominant ratios of the speech waveform. Speech quality was
|
|
found to be contained in the dominant frequency ratios.
|
|
|
|
Page 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The neurophone suppresses the frequency domain and amplifies the
|
|
time domain of the sound signal. This one reason why the neurophone
|
|
sounds so scratchy when one first begins to listen to it.
|
|
|
|
They had also used it to balance meridians of the body. They simply
|
|
played two minutes of pink noise through the neurophone and retested
|
|
10 acupuncture meridians. The meridians were remaining in balance
|
|
two weeks later. Some of the patients commented on cessations of
|
|
seizures, improved sleep, total relaxation, improved respiration,
|
|
better concentration and cessation of pain.
|
|
|
|
It was also clearly established that the neurophone was not
|
|
operating by bone conduction.
|
|
|
|
Some of the possibilities opened by the neurophone are:
|
|
|
|
1. increase in telepathic awareness
|
|
2. Brain/mind link between many people
|
|
3. subliminal learning (played at low volume)
|
|
4. conscious learning by simultaneous use of headphones and
|
|
neurophones
|
|
5. subliminal programs to alter undesirable habits
|
|
6. Control of the aging process by cellular programming
|
|
7. Hearing rendered possible for deaf people
|
|
|
|
Much more research would be needed for electronic vision via the
|
|
skin.
|
|
|
|
It is said that the neurophone is made available to the layman as an
|
|
experimental aid to meditation, electronic learning machine,
|
|
experimental device for balancing bio-energy systems of the body. No
|
|
name or address of Flanagan is given but he would be 59 year old by
|
|
now (1993).
|
|
|
|
His first patent application was when 14 year old but it was
|
|
rejected on the basis that it would go against all known laws of
|
|
science. Later on, after an article ran by Life magazine, he was
|
|
successful in patenting it as he brought the device for demo to the
|
|
patent examiner and they tested it on one of their deaf employees.
|
|
Flanagan was 17 years old then.
|
|
|
|
While working on Man-dolphin communication, he became interested in
|
|
nerve signal information encoding and developed circuits to
|
|
duplicate the pattern recognition observed in the nervous system.
|
|
This led to work in cryptography.
|
|
|
|
He developed a top secret sound scrambler virtually impossible to
|
|
decode based on his reaserch. He also worked on reproducing the
|
|
precise encoding of the cochlea and the 8th cranial nerve. When he
|
|
applied for a patent, it was immediately classified top secret by
|
|
the NSA.
|
|
|
|
He had spent 14 years on it so he certainly was not interested in
|
|
not reaping the benefits of the research. So he challenged the
|
|
secrecy order for 5 years before finally being granted a patent on
|
|
it. Another 5 years of research and he developed a circuit to
|
|
recognize the time relationships in the signal waveform and generate
|
|
a time encoded square wave signal.(1978)
|

|
The original neurophone was using 3000 volts via electrodes. The new
|
|
neurophone uses only 50 volt square waves applied via ceramic disks
|
|
to allow the energy field to affect the skin without a current flow.
|
|
It causes the skin to vibrate internally and it can be heard by
|
|
others if they place their ears near the point of electrode contact
|
|
with the skin.
|
|
|
|
The basis behind the skin sensing mechanism resides in the Pacinian
|
|
Corpuscule which is a special nerve neding that transforms
|
|
mechanical vibrations or pressure into nerve impulses. Until 1980,
|
|
it was tought that it could only work at low frequencies of
|
|
stimulations. IEEE Transactions on Bio-Medical Engineering, Vol BME-
|
|
27, No.10, Oct 80, had an article on that by Fernando Grandori and
|
|
Antonio Pedotti of Milan, Italy: it can react to very high
|
|
frequencies and responds best to square wave stimulus.
|
|
|
|
If you take the neurophone electrodes and apply a 50 volt sinusoidal
|
|
audio signal, it will be perceived weakly. If you use 50 volt but
|
|
with square waves, the signal will be perceived to be 10 times as
|
|
loud.
|
|
|
|
Pacinian corpuscules are located over the entire skins surfaces,
|
|
with greater concentration in the finger tips and sexual organs.
|
|
(This points at where the neurophone electrodes could be located for
|
|
higher sensitivity!) :-)
|
|
|
|
Dr. Flanagan is also said to have researched bio-energy enhancement
|
|
and would have developed instruments to measure the response of the
|
|
body to exercise, clothing, environment, diet, meditation, and
|
|
thought.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the article copy that I've got is truncated. I can
|
|
however spot some key words on the use of a crystal receiver to
|
|
detect something about the bioplasmic field. The 8 Hz bioplasmic
|
|
signal is said to be in harmony with earth resonance. 8 Hz is a sub-
|
|
harmonic of the 256 Hz middle C of the scientific music scale.
|
|
Middle C is also the resonant frequency of the King's chamber of the
|
|
Pyramid of Cheops. 8 Hz is also the frequency of perfect alpha
|
|
rhythm during deep meditation. The neurophone could then be used for
|
|
generating a 8 Hz state of consciousness.
|
|
|
|
I finally read the patent 3,647,970. You should know that it
|
|
indicates exact values for all the components except those which are
|
|
part of the 50 KHz generator.
|
|
|
|
The speech waveform is converted to a signal having constant upper
|
|
and lower levels (square wave) with abrupt transitions from one
|
|
level to the other, these latter being in time correspondence to
|
|
amplitude changes in the speech waveform that exceed a predetermined
|
|
rate of change (that means high-pass filter). The optimum results
|
|
were found with a high-pass filter of 12 dB per octave slope from 0
|
|
to 15 KHz. The patent shows two sets of amplifiers and a 6 dB filter
|
|
in series.
|
|
|
|
The speech waveform is combined with a high frequency noise (the 50
|
|
KHz) to mask signals of lower amplitude prior to processing of the
|
|
signal. There is an adjustable load resistor at the output of the
|
|
50 KHz generator to permit the amplitude of the masking signal to be
|
|
adjusted to eliminate oscillations caused by noise.
|
|
|
|
Page
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The part to square the wave is made with a Schmitt trigger or very
|
|
high gain amplifiers which saturates quickly, and the signal is then
|
|
clipped with a bridge of diodes. You need at least one stage of
|
|
clipping but the patent shows two. The amplitude of the masking
|
|
signal should not be any greater than required to prevent
|
|
oscillation, this in order to minimize interference with the
|
|
processing of the speech waveform.
|
|
|
|
The circuit has 13 NPN transistors (MPS3393 type), 5 PNP transistors
|
|
(MPS3640 type), and 8 diodes (1N914 type). There are 2 coils of 10
|
|
mH used as LC circuit with .001 microfarad capacitors. (The extra
|
|
coil and capacitor in the 50 KHz circuit are likely made of the
|
|
same). All other capacitors are of 10 microfarad value. The
|
|
resistors are mostly 33K value but range amongst 330, 1K, 10K, 33K,
|
|
and 100K. Some of them are adjustable.
|
|
|
|
Sounds like it should be easy to build one! At that time, they were
|
|
using discrete components. But why make an op-amp with discrete
|
|
components when you could just use IC op-amp. If Flanagan is still
|
|
selling these gizmos, he likely "solid-stated" them for ease of
|
|
manufacturing. You would still have sections to tune with solid-
|
|
state ICs.
|
|
|
|
In my info package, there is a section which looks like an
|
|
instruction manual for the Neurophone Model 50, the THINKMAN. It
|
|
would be the 50th neurophone design developed by Dr. Flanagan. They
|
|
describe it as working with a 20 V RMS electric field on its
|
|
electrodes (called transducers). Maximum coupling of the electric
|
|
field is said to be provided by the transducers discs (1 inch diam)
|
|
being made of fragile Zirconium Titanate which has the same
|
|
dielectric constant as the human skin (imbedded in acrylic to
|
|
protect it). A stethoscope used near the electrodes will be able to
|
|
detect local vibrations of the skin.
|
|
|
|
The audio signal will be perceived in the person's head. There are
|
|
no hazardous voltages or currents between the two electrodes (20
|
|
VAC). There are no radio frequency carriers involved in the action
|
|
of the neurophone. (He must have removed that 35 KHz modulated
|
|
waves?) It operates from a 9 volt radio battery and lasts 10 hours.
|
|
The LED probably does not help to shorten battery life.
|
|
|
|
As to location of the electrodes, at first, you have to locate them
|
|
on your temples (to learn to hear the scratchy sound). After much
|
|
listening, you can place them anywhere on the body. One user
|
|
reported excellent listening with one disc on the soft flesh of one
|
|
leg, and the other on the soft skin of the stomach. But the
|
|
neurophone must be operated at higher volume than when using
|
|
temples. (this would make a good radio receiver for secret
|
|
agents!).
|
|
|
|
The brain may initially have difficulty in recognizing the signals
|
|
due to gaps in perception. Also, the user may not be able to
|
|
perceive certain frequencies and time domains in portions of the
|
|
audio spectrum. These holes will disappear with use as the brain
|
|
learns to recognize these sounds.
|
|
|
|
Since it stimulates some unused pathways to the brain, it may
|
|
increase intelligence and neural efficiency. Many long term users
|
|
reported increased awareness, telepathic ability, out of body
|
|
|
|
Page 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experiences, better memory, and increased auditory frequency range.
|
|
Dr. Flanagan is said to have developed extremely high neural
|
|
efficiency scores from the long use of the device. (What's a neural
|
|
efficiency score?)
|
|
|
|
A commercial pilot reported recovery of hearing damaged due to aural
|
|
trauma from loud engine noise heard while on his job. Remember that
|
|
it is still considered an experimental device.
|
|
|
|
G. Harry Stine wrote a book "Silicon Gods" published by Dell and
|
|
discusses the possibility of using the device as a part of mind-
|
|
computer link in which the power of the human mind could be
|
|
amplified by millions of time. That should be a good to read. Must
|
|
be Lawnmower Man with a 100 HP engine on it! (Thinking of the movie
|
|
:-) although I have not seen it). Bearden was also expressing the
|
|
same idea in Excalibur Briefing but to link multiple minds together.
|
|
|
|
(He referred to the group mind linkage "gestalt" that would combine
|
|
to create a larger, super intelligent being which Bearden named
|
|
ZARG. The main fear with such a 'creation' was that it might come
|
|
to consciousness, take a look around, talk with other beings of its
|
|
mental stature and decide how we humans had screwed up the Earth,
|
|
then using its power, it would destroy us all....a tongue in cheek
|
|
comment, I hope....VANGARD) It sounds like they intended to start a
|
|
Neurophone Magazine and some user group.
|
|
|
|
The THINKMAN is based on patent 3,647,970. And one more thing!
|
|
|
|
Sensations of odor, taste, touch and vision have been produced
|
|
neurophonically but detailed procedures and experimental
|
|
verifications were not developed as of July 1966, the date of an
|
|
evaluation by Huyck Research Center. Virtual Reality, here we come!

I guess I am what you call a lurker. I have enjoyed the
|
|
conversations immensely, but hesitate to jump in as this is very new
|
|
to me. However, when you mentioned Dr. Patrick Flanagan. I could
|
|
contain my self no longer. I am associated with a company that
|
|
makes nutritional programs. The founder of our company Dr.
|
|
Christopher Hills and Dr. Flanagan have had a long association and
|
|
last year, we began to market the newest addition to our
|
|
nutritional formulas,"Microclusters". You know his past history.
|
|
He holds a number of patents on electronic devices and has traveled
|
|
around the world five times researching anti-aging therapies. For
|
|
the past 25 years he has focused on colloidal cluster chemistry
|
|
which has led to the breakthrough discovery of Flanagan
|
|
Microclusters. His wife, Dr. Gael Crystal Flanagan has spent the
|
|
last eight years in collloidal cluster chemistry research with her
|
|
husband. They were married and spent their wedding night in the
|
|
Kings Chamber of the most famous pyramid. A first. A child
|
|
prodigy; Dr. Flanagan has done his finest work to date with the
|
|
Microclusters. I am living testimony to that. I stay saturated
|
|
with this Newage Nutrition. The Flanagans live in Sedona, Arizona.
|
|
At our meetings we have had numerous live teleconferences with
|
|
them....but they live and do their research reclusively. I am
|
|
looking forward to meeting them at a company workshop in Sedona in
|
|
June of this year. As you see I am most enthusiastic about what I
|
|
|

do and super nutrition. Please feel free to ask me any thing for I
|
|
live and breathe nutrition.

|
Glad to know that someone knows where Dr. Flanagan is at this time.
|
|
Some one was asking if the neurophones were still being sold and
|
|
where they could be obtained. I read in a file on Keelynet (214-324-
|
|
3501) that these things were selling for $1,000 at one time and
|
|
there was now a Japanese company making a new model for $150. The
|
|
new model is know as "Silent Nights" but there are no addresses
|
|
mentioned. If you have the chance to talk to Dr. Flanagan, we were
|
|
wondering whether that technology has finally allowed transmissions

of images to the brain in a same fashion. You might also ask him if
|
|
he'd be willing to participate in a conference on Compuserve one of
|
|
those nights. I'm sure that a few other participants would find some
|
|
questions to ask about neurophones and microclusters.

FWIW, I _did_ finally locate the little pamphlet that I have on the
|
|
Neurophone. From a brief look, I don't see that it covers very much
|
|
that you haven't mentioned already.
|
|
|
|
For the record, it's called: "The Neurophone Manual", subtitle
|
|
"Instruction Booklet for Neurophone Mk XI". Published by "Source of
|
|
Innergy, Ltd., 9989 E. Morrill Way, Tucson, AZ 85715." Copyrighted
|
|
1979 by G. Patrick Flanagan, Ph.D.
|
|
|
|
It is a small format, 42 page booklet, obviously inexpensively
|
|
produced, and without much proofing, I'd guess. The first 15 pages
|
|
are Flanagan's, and the remaining pages are reprints of Bearden.
|
|
|
|
I should say that the tone of the pamphlet is pretty breathless,
|
|
e.g. "Col. Bearden believes that the _Neurophone_ is the _key_ to
|
|
linking consciousness. He believes that it may hold the answer to
|
|
solving ALL the problems of mankind." (emphasis in original. page
|
|
14). Another example:
|
|
|
|
"In 1974, two years after I wrote _Pyramid Power_, we spent the
|
|
night in the Great Pyramid... I can say that I had a full blown
|
|
_Kundilini Release_. After that experience, I became a _trance
|
|
medium_. ..." (emphasis in original. page 6).
|
|
|
|
BTW, he also claims that after a Life magazine article came out
|
|
about the Neurophone, we was offered up to $8,000,000 (!) for the
|
|
patent rights.
|
|
|
|
The initial patent (3,393,279) was not relying on square waves to
|
|
transmit the signal, just on modulated RF (20-200 KHz). 30 KHz was
|
|
the most oftten used frequency. They even used a coil around the
|
|
head of a person (besides using electrodes).
|
|
|
|
Each individual nervous system is at least somewhat selective in
|
|
respect to the frequencies to which it is most responsive. A
|
|
frequency to which the nervous system of a person is demonstrably
|
|
responsive can be determined by varying the frequency of the carrier
|
|
|
|
Page 8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
waves that are modulated by an information signal, and measuring the
|
|
frequency of such waves that produce the sensation of hearing the
|
|
sounds corresponding to the modulating signal. This is likely why
|
|
the models had an ajustable carrier frequency. Note that the carrier
|
|
only cannot be heard unless there is an audio modulation in it. The
|
|
brain probably rejects the signal as noise. The modulation
|
|
essentially truncates the top of the square waves. (That might be
|
|
the old principle: I think that the new one is more likely pulse
|
|
width modulation, i.e. the square waves don't have the same widths).
|
|
|
|
The width of the entering pulse with no information must be equal to
|
|
the critical reaction time (C.R.T.: typically 12 microseconds) of
|
|
the nervous system at any given instance. A pulse with the wrong
|
|
width will only partially load the neurone. If you use a sinusoidal
|
|
waveform, the width of the wave will coincide with that C.R.T. only
|
|
over a narrow period. This is why square waves are used.
|
|
|
|
The electrodes can be placed on or near various portions of the
|
|
body, such portions preferably being near (within one inch of) the
|
|
spinal cord, or where nerves are concentrated close to the skin. The
|
|
upper frequency limit of auditory perception is extended, while low
|
|
frequency perception is more difficult until after some practice in
|
|
listening.
|
|
|
|
In the old patent with vacuum tubes, the output of the source of
|
|
modulated electromagnetic waves is preferably at least about 1 watt.
|
|
However, the study by Huyck Research Center shows that at the right
|
|
frequency, less than 10^-4 (or 0.0001) watt is all what's needed to
|
|
produce neurophonic effect when connected to the temples.
|
|
Stereophonic effects have been produced with electrodes on temple.
|
|
|
|
They don't say what would happen with 2 neurophones connected at the
|
|
same time. Would it be a way to produce stereo signals?
|
|
|
|
I was browsing through the ads in Popular Electronics and saw the
|
|
word neurophone listed there under the paragraph "Off-the-Shelf
|
|
Hardware". They don't give any price and they say "see details in
|
|
catalog". (their cat is $4 w/o order, $2 with). My guess is that
|
|
neurophone will be quite expensive if Flanagan dared selling them
|
|
for $1K and the Japanese crank them out at $150 each. If someone
|
|
checks it out, please let us all know?

Because of a thread I found here, I contacted ComsumerTronics
|
|
regarding the Neurophone. After reviewing the catalog description, I
|
|
|
|
Page 9
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
am more confused about the device. The ConsumerTronics text suggests
|
|
that the device employes a kind of pulse code modulation to encode
|
|
information. The device seems to accomodate several output
|
|
transducers (induction coil, piezo-electric, voice coil...).

Ouch! Really expensive!
|
|
|
|
The last patent number that I mentioned had a circuit diagram with
|
|
components values in it, i.e. all you need to build one. It was a
|
|
transistorized version although someone "skilled-in-the-trade" could
|
|
readily convert it to integrated circuit version.
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure that a second channel is really workable. And I don't
|
|
see why they have all these forms of output (low, 8 ohm, 50-600 ohm
|
|
impedance, high voltage). The carrier frequency input ought to be
|
|
delivered with the device because it is inherent to the proper
|
|
function of the neurophone.

Vangard Note...
|
|
|
|
The above file offers excellent information and we really
|
|
appreciate the open sharing of such. However, a few words based
|
|
on our researches into this area. In some of Flanagans earlier
|
|
writings, he indicates that mental telepathy, a 'thought linkage'
|
|
could be effected.
|
|
|
|
The human nervous system as a whole vibrates in a frequency range
|
|
of about 50Kcps to about 100Kcps (Hertz is not a term respected
|
|
by those in alternative studies). The frequency in control at
|
|
any given time is determined by dozens of factors including
|
|
stress, nervous excitation, physical stimulation, mental
|
|
alertness or overall tiredness, food being processed in the
|
|
system, etc. As a result, the nervous system continually changes
|
|
its resonant frequency.
|
|
|
|
Flanagan found a way to sample the current nervous system
|
|
frequency. That frequency was then artificially duplicated and
|
|
modulated with the audio component. When this signal was
|
|
injected into the body, the two carriers canceled leaving only
|
|
the audio component. Phasing obviously plays a part in the
|
|
efficiency of such a system.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
The interesting point of this, is that when two (or more) systems
|
|
are "in rapport/resonance", they communicate. So, if two (or
|
|
more) people are experimenting with such a device, AND their
|
|
nervous systems come into resonance, they will experience mind
|
|
linkage as per Bearden.
|
|
|
|
This applies also to the GESTALT principle. GESTALT can be
|
|
loosely translated to mean "group mind". It is somewhat
|
|
correlated to the TETRACTYS principle as outlined in NEUTRAL1 on
|
|
KeelyNet. If each atom has a VERY limited form of consciousness,
|
|
then by adding more atoms to form molecules, we get a higher form
|
|
of consciousness as a direct result of the combined
|
|
intelligences. And in turn, as molecules combine to form mass
|
|
aggregations, the resultant structures have a higher form of
|
|
"grouped" consciousness. (that is why we use the term, ESCAPE to
|
|
a higher order....)
|
|
|
|
Two points we should mention in regard to "higher" orders of
|
|
consciousness:
|
|
|
|
1) The response time to outside stimuli is reduced due to the
|
|
need to adaptively coordinate all the components
|
|
comprising the conscious structure
|
|
2) Resonance occurs at ALL stages/orders from the simpler
|
|
levels, to the next highest, to the next highest, etc.
|
|
Thus, atoms respond at higher frequences, mass
|
|
aggregations of atoms in the form of molecules harmonize
|
|
to form yet other frequencies, and those molecules in turn
|
|
form the overall mass aggregate that has its own
|
|
frequencies.....as we go up the scale of complexity, the
|
|
wavelengths extend to cause responses at lower
|
|
frequencies.
|
|
|
|
For those into computers, the idea of the TRANSPUTER or parallel
|
|
processing is very similar, in that more computing power comes
|
|
from the combination of more processors along with a means of
|
|
keeping track of who is doing what. (requiring faster clocks)
|
|
|
|
In natural systems, such a means of keeping order from a vast
|
|
array of otherwise independent
|
|
organisms/consciousnesses/computers takes the form of an ADAPTIVE
|
|
response. This again ties into the fascinating work of Illya
|
|
Prigogine on Chaos and Dissipative Structures.
|
|
|
|
BTW...I called out to Sedona, AZ (602) with the very slight hope
|
|
that Gillis Patrick Flanagan might be listed. Not so, the only
|
|
Flanagan in Sedona proper (city only, not suburbs) was a Brian.
