View Full Version : 7.8 Cps
OK at the risk of...
In Valerie Hunt's "Infinite Mind, if I recall correctly, there was a study done where psychics, who were 'doing their thing' were accurate more often that not if their brainwaves were at 7.8 cps.
any corabborating material?

Hi Skip,
7,8Hz. is the frequency of modulation of the Earth's magnetic field. It's an amplitude modulation in that the frequency remains at 7,8Hz Some say the Earth's frequency is rising, but that's another topic :)
Though I can't put my finger's on it, I've read more than a dozen different sources referring to psychic accuracy increasing when the brain is encouraged towards 7,8 Hz
My own experience is that the mind gains in ability in other areas at that frequency too. (Yes, I have played with biofeedback).
I like to play with electronic gadgets. Back in the '70s there was a construction project in Popular Electronics for building an EEG-biofeedback monitor. Been playing with such ever since.
Maybe that's why folks got the Idea Alpha brainwaves=hypnosis.
7,8Hz is also a state of greater suggestibility. I never brought it up here to avoid the 'I told you so' from the Alpha camp.
It ain't hypnosis, but 7,8Hz does effect suggestibility :)

Interesting, I played with that equipment some twenty five years ago. Found it fun and educational, and had my own machine built for me by a local electronics wizz kid.... He found while testing it that it worked well for migraine at the lower levels, ie 7 to 14 hertz.

Skip,
If you notice other interesting aspects of this, please share.
Oh, BTW, Pink!

The new thing is pulsed magnetic therapy..electronic devices that emit natural geo magnetic magnetic pulses similiar to the earth's magnetic frequency...if you set the circuit to 7.8, the magnetic pulsed entrain the brain to operate at that frequency.
here is a web site for a schemetic:

One of the ways that magnetic forces interact with the body is by increasing the blood flow and amount of oxygen available to the cells and tissues. Another way is by altering the spin orientation of some protons, the tiny particles that make up the nuclei of atoms. Perhaps this is the reason why they help a wider variety of ailments than many chemicals or drugs that operate only on the molecular level to alter or attack specific bacteria or viruses, or to change a particular chemical imbalance. This is the same principal that magnetic resonance imaging MRI works by.
emitting low electromagnetic frequencies similar to the brain's own energy.
Scientists from around the world are exploring the function of these rhythms. There is evidence that the brain shows different levels of electrical activity corresponding to the spectrum of human mood. These include delta waves when someone is sleeping peacefully; theta waves, representing a state of creativity, communication and concentration; alpha waves at a time when a person is awake but relaxed; and beta waves when a person is alert and active. Ideally, the brain should not produce electrical activity above 25-30 Hz (or cycles per second) - but an overload of stress and tension can stimulate waves far above that leading to problems in sleeping, concentrating and relaxing.
Oh yes..;then there's PINK NOISE!!!

Hello Skip,
The Schumann Resonance at 7.8 Hz is purported to be the frequency at which the earth resonates but I've never seen any conclusive proof that this is the case.
Neither have I seen any evidence whatsoever that 'hypnosis' - in itself a total misnomer - is any different to the various brain states related to brain wave frequency.
As one of the 'alpha camp' in my own experiments with brainwave frequency I have found that whether or not hypnosis is the same phenomenon as brain entrainment the results are the same, so discussion may be academic.
In the same experiments headaches and migraines can be made to disappear within 15-20 minutes and not at 7.8Hz. There may indeed be a good case for not using this frequency over a prolonged period but again there is no firm proof that colon spasm can be produced by exposure. Perhaps it might happen if it were possible to maintain brainwave frequency at this constant, but the brain has it's own idea about that!
So, personally whilst it is romantic to think of a mystical frequency I have not found that 7.8 Hz has any particular significance, any more than 6.72 Hz for instance. Of course, I may be wrong.

> there is no firm proof that colon spasm can be produced by exposure.
I have never found a coorelation between brainwaves and colon spasms either.
I have however found 8 Hz. SOUND WAVES can produce such an event. The report I saw was from an airframe manufacturer's acoustics lab. Some sort of structural vibration issue and less than desirable results ;)
I don't know the reference duration.
It apparantly is not an issue for 8Hz. envelopes of higher frequency sounds.
As I state in my FAQ:
anyone who has actually created those low frequency sounds knows that the intestines and colon spasm around 8 cycles per second (hertz) and things become rather messy.
Hello Merlin,
You say in your FAQ:
anyone who has actually created those low frequency sounds knows that the intestines and colon spasm around 8 cycles per second (hertz) and things become rather messy.
As 'anyone' I can say definitively that it is not a phenomenon I have observed.
Neither has anyone I know of in three universities in the UK. I would be interested to read the original source material from the airframe manufacturer if you have it?

The Us Goverment has this sound gun for riot control. It's hard to riot when you dump in your pants. For more info read John Alexander's books,
he was in charge of the army unit delevoping non leathl weapons.

I've been hearing about such weapons for 30 years. They sound incredible. In fact, they sound so incredible, I have just one question: how come they're not being used?

If you refer to 'non-lethal' they are used.
If you refer to sound, probably because such sounds are omnidirectional.
Thanks, I will check out the John Alexander book.

Not sure if I posted this exact one before, this is a brain wave generator, set it to the desired frequency and slip on the headphones... away you go! (or as easy as that once you learn to operate it, at least :))
