Inner
Head: Ear Worms & Audio Memes
Memes
Memes are "neurological instruction code"
of behavior that is
passed on from person to person, replicating
itself like a virus.
The key is that they are self replicating!
Pronounced like "dreams", memes are snippets
of memory stored in
brains and passed on by imitation or duplication.
Examples are
tunes, fads, catch-phrases, slogans, culture,
superstition,
customs, mass hysteria, and so forth.
Audio Memes
Audio memes are neurological code in the
output form of sound.
For example, a huge sample of adult Americans
would likely know
the name and subsequent notes to the song,
Don't Worry Be Happy,
after hearing just the first distinctive
note!
Why? It's an audio meme.
Ear Worms
Ear worms are metaphorical creatures in
the form of sound. They
have a life of their own, and they infect
humans much like audio
memes. The difference is that they don't
stop playing (the tune)
inside a person's head. They just keep going,
and going, and
going...
Earworm: (EER.wurm) n. A song or tune that
repeats over and over
inside a person's head. Also: ear-worm,
ear worm.
Sound Advice
It is apparent, that sounds can drive us
crazy. Sounds can drive
us "sane", too. Sounds can affect the emotional
fabric of our
lives, psychologically (mood music), kinesthetically
(dance
music), and possibly spiritually (alpha-theta
combinations found
in advanced states of meditation).
Like music, brain wave patterns are measured
in frequencies, or
pulses of sound. It is a vitally significant
breakthrough that
you can now utilize sound in ways to most
benefit your own well
being and development.
Imagine what it must be like to synchronize
your brain wave
patterns with that of a Zen master during
meditation. Well guess
what?
Creative genius has been brain-wave mapped,
(want to hear it?),
to which you may synchronize your own!
Or would you instead prefer the sound of
a loud jackhammer
pounding out the city life of sirens, automobile
horns and
advertising jingles that just keep going
and going and going?
If audio memes, ear worms, and background
noise comprise your
daily dietary intake of "sound food" to
your inner body...
...perhaps a more natural "junk-free" high
purity resonance of
binaural sound frequencies can help clear
up the clutter. There's
a good list of users that would agree with
these fascinating and
rejuvenating effects, like me.
In addition, some of the available programs
take advantage of
these special frequencies to enhance certain
experiences with
positive and healthful audio imagery. But
it's up to you which
you prefer.
Listening for a Change
If it turned out that when you got back
to your room with these
CD's, alone, and you absorbed these sounds
and cheerfully
discovered, "This is exactly what I needed!"
it would wonderfully
answer your curiosity, wouldn't it?
And what does health food for your brain
actually sound like?

Click to the left where it says Compact
Disks, and then you'll
get a selection under that to hear on-line
samples.
I don't know if you'll notice that some
of these sounds can
excite the neurological experience of deep
pleasure, and they're
a real ecstasy to find too, because you
can get high resonant
sensations in them for long periods of time.
(But I seriously hope the government doesn't
find a way to ban
some of these frequencies too soon.) Hear
for yourself what I
mean. (Stereophones required)
