Authors: Castillo, Horace T.; Sherwin, Ira

AES Convention 37 · Paper 677 · October 1969

Abstract

Brain waves from normal and diseased persons can be made to produce distinctive sounds. Physicians can use the instrument for examination and research. An audio carrier of 1700 cycles frequency modulated by the .5 to 40 cycle brain waves is the basis of design. An experimental system has been assembled and the various sound patterns have been listened to from healthy and diseased persons. Modern technology could provide a pocket model for clinical use.
