ELF Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields. They affect us all in ways we may never consciously realise! (p.3, Vol. #66, May-June 1962); tells of one of the early efforts where a government study, granted to Drs. Koch and Pitchum at the University of Rhode Island, had made recordings of the earth's brain wave; and those of you who know anything about Encephalography could almost diagnose the patient by these little squiggles. They look identical to human brain waves! (See fig. 1) We're reading the Magnetic H-wave which is the psychoactive component. Any radio propagation wave has three components: the E-wave which can be picked up by an antenna, the electro-sta- tic component, and the magnetic component - the vector is 90 degrees at right angles to it. So we built apparatus to test the thesis: There are certain people walking among us today - perhaps one person in three thousand - who by dent of heredity, or training, meditation , or whatever it might be, is able to tune in to this magnetic component which is down around one micro-gauss, one millionth of a gauss. Somehow they latch on to this cosmic carrier of information, transduce it into Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields. we may never consciously realise! paranormal "seeing" ability. Now, the brain wave spectra seems to centre around that magic number of 7.8 to 8.0 Hertz (cycles per second). In other words, we know have an objective test to see whether that person is tuning into a paranormal state of consciousness, or whether he is making it up as he goes along. Tf we look at these curves at 8 Hz, 7.8 Hz, there is a tremendous node in the earth's brain wave. There's another one at about 14 Hz, by Dr. Robert Beck President, United States Psychotronics Association, 1985. This presentation consisted primarily of a slide presentation with commentary. The text has been extracted from a version of this lecture published in 1978 by Borderland Sciences Research Foundation. etc. Amazing! The same numbers which you get at the alpha-beta border, the alpha wave, beta, etc. Man is a bio-cosmic resonator. Now what are some of the factors which can alter human moods if this thesis is correct? Sunspot activity. Recall how solar flare activity totally disrupts radio communication on this planet? It also changes the frequency of the Schumann wave. Lunar tides. The same gravity forces that cause tides in our oceans de-tunes the earth ionosphere cavity slightly, changing its frequency. How about this as a solution for "moon madness In 1952, German physicist named W.O. Schumann, playing around with math as physicists are prone to do, postulated that the earth - being a good conductor - was surrounded by a good dialec- tric called air. And around this is another layer of a good conduc- tor known as the ionosphere, the Heaviside Layer, and that this constitutes a potentially resonant system. That means that any energy trapped in this earth-ionosphere cavity - like lightning storms, etc., - will cause it to ring like a bell. But the surprise was that this signal frequency was the identical spectrum of human brain waves. It had to be of irresistible interest to me to build an A lot of previously anecdotal, but very well documented data, is going to seem to fit this model of why is man sensitive to these cosmic events. Here are some photographs of solar flare activity. The earth, drawn to the same scale as some of these tremendous bursts of energy, is this little dot right here. Tremendous bursts of energy from outer space alter the earth's ionospheric cavity, there- fore changing the frequency slightly; therefore it can re-tune our nervous systems, electromagnetically.
