Frequency Medicine for the 21st Century

The presentation provides insights into psychoacoustics - the study of the effect of music and sound on the human nervous system - with an emphasis on therapeutic applications. There will be specific focus on psychoacoustically-designed soundtracks for stress issues, chronic conditions,  and illness management and recovery. The primary techniques of resonance (tone), entrainment (rhythm), pattern identification, and brainwave frequencies will be demonstrated.
