Hi Jeffrey,

I am about 10 days behind i= my work this last month. I was held back from my friend dying. I will=keep a log of these days and make up for them.

This last month I did the=following:

published 4 articles (I otherwise do 8 per month). <=Ii>

drafted and fleshed out seven forum concepts including: signal i=telligence & biological systems, music and the brain, dreaming, altern=tive currencies and the predator/prey dynamic of biology. Go to: www.jeffreyepstei=forum.com

posted your concepts on a host of science blogs and forums

listed your websites, blog and forum with google analytics. (you= .org site has had approx. 30,000 visitors)

Wikipedia: I finally got your photo changed and mug shot removed= Put all your website links onto Wiki as well as positive press links.

*

- updated your websites and blog with content.

- created a proper site map for your .org site.

talked with Business Wire to set up a press release account with=them. They did a complimentary analysis of my press releases and things I =an do to optimize them.

talked with CEO of Reputation Changer. He's ready to do a co=ference call with you.

My goal this month is:

8 press articles via Business Wire, optimizing them=slightly differently.

Blasting your forum concepts on every discussion pa=el, blog I can find.

Fleshing out all of your concepts further.

Hopefully getting you started with Reputation Changer.

Printing out all my articles to date and giving them

Below is a sample concept:

Can music be an insight into th= workings of the brain? For example, why does the brain like to hear octav=s, certain harmonies and pitch resolution?

Music is the manipul=tion of audible frequencies. More specifically, it is the establishment an= manipulation of frequency patterns and frequency intensities. So why does=the brain find patterns and various sequences of frequency intensities sti=ulating?

Some Background:

The ear converts all sound waves into electrochemical im=ulses that charge the neocortex of the brain. More specifically, the basil=r membrane of the brain in the cochlea, the small snail-like structure in th= inner ear, vibrates to incoming sound and at different sinusoidal frequen=ies due to variations in thickness and width along the length of the membr=ne. Tonotopy studies the spatial arrangement of frequencies a=ong the basilar membrane.

The tonotopy of frequencies projects through=the vestibulocochlear nerve, through associated midbrain structures, throu=h the auditory radiation pathway and to the primary auditory cortex. Throu=hout the radiation pathway, frequency organization is linear in accordance=to neural sensitivity; (human auditory neurons react to vibrations in air pressure that occur =etween 20 to 20,000 times per second-20hz to 20,000hz on the human audib=e spectrum). However, binaural fusion in the superior oliviary comple= affects the signal strength of each ganglion. As a result, s=x tonotopic maps have been identified in the primary auditory cortex of hu=ans.

Pitches are frequencies of increasing or decreasing mult=ples. Higher pitches translate to higher frequencies. Lower pitches to low=r ones. Pitches that are an octave apart correspond to frequencies that ha=e exactly half or double the frequency. For example, if one note has = frequency of 440 Hz, the note an octave above it is at 880 Hz, and the no=e an octave below is at 220 Hz. Harmonies are frequencies with whole number multiples of =he fundamental (or lowest) frequency of any pitch. </=>Resolution in western=tonal music theory is the move of a note or chord from dissonance (an unst=ble sound) to consonance (a more final or stable sounding one). In terms of audible frequency, resolution is the move from non-multiple =requencies back to a frequency that is a multiple of the dominant fundamen=al frequency.

Theories and Questions:

1. Patterns, whether visual, rhythmic or =udible have been shown to stimulate the brain. Patterns facilitate and rew=rd prediction and prediction is a network and prioritization of associativ= memory. Functional=Magnetic Resonance

Imaging (fMRI) shows that the orbitofrontal cortex play= a critical role, amongst others, in making predictions and leads to an in=rease in B-endorphin levels and a decrease in plasma cortisol, a marker for stress. So what doe= the desire for predictions tell us about the brain?<=span>

2. Similar, to reading a book or watchin= a movie, the manipulation of frequency intensities found in music can mim=c human life experiences and all the stimulating associations that come wi=h it. The second question therefore, is why does the human brain like to e=perience a duplication of its experiences?
