Imagine
a time when trying to concentrate on learning a new activity or concentrating
on work and think how easy it can be to become distracted by other noises
such as coworkers, phones, television, etc.
Hearing
is an amazing sense, however our ears are not selective to the content
that they do or do not hear. It is sometimes difficult to focus on the
task at hand. The Neurophone® effectively bypasses the
ears to "hear without your ears." Martin Lenhardt's work at
the University of Virginia clearly demonstrated that human beings have
the ability to detect ultrasonic sound when it is transmitted through
the skin, bones and liquids of the body, as published in Science,
Vol. 253, 5,1991,82.
Lenhardt
had duplicated Patrick's original 1958 Neurophone® using
sophisticated ultrasonic transducers and discovered that a tiny organ
in the inner ear that is normally associated with balance is also a hearing
organ for ultrasonic sound. Information is able to be directly processed
in the brain without the distractive input.
This
ability to bypass the traditional auditory mechanisms allow new insight
into hearing, neural pathways and brain encoding and processing.
