Vietnam. These ears were of the same proportions as real ears but were much larger. They enabled us to hear distant sounds with a high degree of localisation accuracy in the jungle. It seems that we can adapt to ears of almost any size. The reason we can do this is because sound recognition is based on a time-ratio code. We were able to reverse the process and could take any sound recording and encode it so that sounds were perceived as coming from specific points in space. Using this technique, we could spread out a recording of an orchestra. The effect added reality as if you were actually listening to a live concert. This information has never been used commercially except in one instance when I allowed The Beach Boys to record one of their albums with my special ‘laser’ microphones. We developed a special Neurophone that enabled us to ‘hear’ dolphin sounds up to 250,000 Hertz. By using the Neurophone as part of the Man-Dolphin communicator, we were able to perceive more of the intricacies of the dolphin language. The human ear is limited to a 16 kHz range, while dolphins generate and hear sounds out to 250 kHz. Our special Neurophone enabled us to hear the full range of dolphin sounds. As a result of the discovery of the encoding system used by the brain to localise sound in space and also to recognise speech intel- ligence, we were able to create a digital Neurophone. When our digital Neurophone patent application was sent to the patent office, the Defense Intelligence Agency slapped it under a secrecy order. I was unable to work on the device or talk about it to anyone for another five years. This was terribly discouraging. The first patent took 12 years to get, and the second patent application was put under secrecy for five years. The digital Neurophone converts sound waves into a digital sig- nal that matches the time encoding that is used by the brain. These time signals are used not only in speech recognition but also in spatial recognition for the 3-D sound localisation. The digital Neurophone is the version that we eventually pro- duced and sold as the Mark XI and the Thinkman Model 50 ver- sions. These Neurophones were especially useful as subliminal learning machines. If we play educational tapes through the Neurophone, the data is very rapidly incorporated into the long- term memory banks of the brain. HOW DOES IT WORK? The skin is our largest and most complex organ. In addition to being the first line of defence against infection, the skin is a gigan- tic liquid crystal brain. The skin is piezo-electric. When it is vibrated or rubbed, it gen- erates electric signals and scalar waves. ‘Every organ of percep- tion evolved from the skin. When we are embryos, our sensory organs evolved from folds in the skin. Many primitive organisms and animals can see and hear with their skin. When the Neurophone was originally developed, neurophysiol- ogists considered that the brain was hard-wired and that the vari- ous cranial nerves were hard-wired to every sensory system. The eighth cranial nerve is the nerve bundle that runs from the inner ear to the brain. Theorctically, we should only be able to hear with our ears if our sensor organs are hard-wired. Now the con- cept of a holographic brain has come into being. The holographic brain theory states that the brain uses a holographic encoding sys- tem so that the entire brain may be able to function as a mutiple- faceted sensory encoding computer. This means that sensory impressions may be encoded so that any part of the brain can recognise input signals according to a special encoding, Theoretically, we should be able to see and hear through multiple channels. The key to the Neurophone is the stimulation of the nerves of the skin with a digitally encoded signal that carries the same time- ratio encoding that is recognised as sound by any nerve in the body. All commercial digital speech recognition circuitry is based on so-called dominant frequency power analysis. While speech can be recognised by such a circuit, the truth is that speech encoding is based on time ratios. If the frequency power analysis circuits are not phased properly, they will not work. The intelligence is car- tied by phase information. The frequency content of the voice gives our voice a certain quality, but frequency does not contain information. All attempts at computer voice recognition and voice generation are only partially successful. Until digital time-ratio encoding is used, our computers will never be able to really talk to ne us. The computer that we developed to recognise speech for the Man-Dolphin communicator used time-ratio analysis only. By recognising and using time-ratio encoding, we could transmit clear voice data through extremely narrow bandwidths. In one device, we developed a radio transmitter that had a bandwidth of only 300 Hz while maintaining crystal clear transmission. Since signal-to- noise ratio is based on bandwidth considerations, we were able to transmit clear voice over thousands of miles while using milliwau nawer power. Improved signal-processing algorithms are the basis of a new series of Neurophones that are currently under development. These new Neurophones use state-of-the-art digital processing to render sound information much more accurately. ELECTRONIC TELEPATHY? The Neurophone is really an electronic telepathy machine. Several tests prove that it bypasses the 8th cranial nerve or hearing nerve and transmits sound directly to the brain. This means that the Neurophone stimulates perception through a 7th or alternate cance sense. All hearing aids stimulate tiny bones in the middle ear. Sometimes when the cardrum is damaged, the bones of the inner ear are stimulated by a vibrator that is placed behind the ear on the base of the skull. Bone conduction will even work through the teeth. In order for bone conduction to work, the cochlea or inner ear that connects to the 8th cranial nerve must function. People who are nerve-deaf cannot hear through bone conduction because the nerves in the inner ear are not functional. A number of nerve-deaf people and people who have had the ene) ae 20¢NEXUS FEBRUARY - MARCH 1994
