Smith's hypothesis that .9 Hz affects the limbic system, and "...would seem to be the base beat frequency of the two HAARP pulse generators as they beat together sweeping upward through the Schumann Frequency." (http://elfrad.org/2000/haarp.htm): According to an article in Journal of Neurotherapy, http://www.snr-jnt.org/NFBArch/Reprints/aa-nt.htm: "There are three main patterns of hippocampal [limbic] field potentials: 1) theta or RSA (rhythmic slow activity), between 3 and 11 Hz (depending on species); 2) LIA (large amplitude irregular activity) in a broad range between 0.5 and 25 Hz; 3) beta, fast waves between 20 and 60 Hz. Rhythmic inputs can entrain oscillations in the hippocampus across a range of frequencies." .9 Hz would fall into the LIA area, but I'm not sure what that means--perhaps there's someone on the lists with knowledge of neurology? However, there is an interesting correlate of .9 Hz: It is approximately the resonant frequency of the lunar-earth system, as explained by Charlie Plyler at http://www.elfrad.net/Moon.htm: "This frequency varies from .9 to .95 hertz. The signal above has a center frequency of .9373 hz. The wavelength of this frequency is 319,877km or 198,711 miles. We are aware of the fact that a moving body in free space that possesses a magnetic field will generate a frequency with a wavelength equal to the distance from another magnetic body such as our earth. The moon at this time was 387,692 km or 242,307 miles distant. This was fairly close to the wavelength of the anomalous signal. If we were detecting the presence of the moon, it seems that we would be logging the signal for a greater duration of time rather than a few minutes." If we accept the hypothesis that mammalian neural functioning is developed phylogenetically by driving from exogenous electromagnetic rhythms in nature, there should be a concomitant of lunar motion. That's normally thought of as correlated with the the mammalian reproductive cycle and there's some evidence of correlations of lunar cycles with violent behavior. Other examples of neural driving by exogenous electromagnetic rhythms that support this hypothesis include the alpha rhythm (centered at 8 Hz, the Schumann resonance frequency, corresponding to the wavelength of the Earth-ionosphere diameter), and the universal tremor reflex (10 Hz, corresponding to the wavelength of the Earth's diameter). Is there any further evidence for the neural effects of .9 Hz? >> <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
