Sound and the brain...and more

This is very interesting work. Yes, the brain (and other neural centers) do generate "music." Some of us hear this as tinnitus. The brain and other energy centers of the body are also resonant to certain frequencies more than we thought. Not music, which certainly may evoke a wide array of emotions, but soundscapes without melody or rhythm. Exposing some people to these resonant frequencies has profound effects. Why some and not others, I'm not sure, but would like to know more.

Competing interests declared: I have produced two CDs of therapeutic sound that deep affect some people in a positive way. The main idea is that specific area of the body are resonant to specific frequencies. I have links that explain this in greater detail.
