Most of the present day research for
BioAcoustics using voice spectral analysis has been done by a corporation
called Signature Sound Works, Inc.(SSW), AKA Sound Health Inc. Guided by
the very unusual healing ability of the founder, it was shown that people
emit sounds that are in a range not normally perceived.
The first
publication concerning this work was published as a graduating thesis by
Sharry Edwards in 1982. In that initial paper, Sharry was very cautious
about revealing that she had a very unusual ability. She could hear sounds
from people that were not normally perceived. A hearing test revealed that
she could hear well above the normal range and equally surprising, could
produce sine waves with her voice. The production of sine waves by
anything other than a machine is quite unusual. She has been tested in
three labs, including one at Wright Patterson Airforce Base to prove the
point that her voice is unique.
Sharry was cautioned by her
professors and colleagues to keep this information to herself. How could
she be hearing sounds being emitted from the side of a person's head.
After all, there was nothing there to create a sound and certainly the ear
was incapable of making sounds. Later, Wendell Browne of Johns Hopkins
University published several papers indicating that the ear is capable of
emitting a sound that he called oto-acoustic emissions. He assumed that
the stapes muscles in the ear were responsible. A recent work by James P.
Cowan, Environmental Acoustics, states that the actual formation of the
ear canal only lends itself to creating sounds that range from F-A. The
sounds that Sharry heard contained a full range of notes over several
octaves.
The research at SSW leads us to believe that the brain creates frequencies
that are amplified through the brain fluids. [Liquid is a highly efficient
sound conductive source.] The sounds created by the brain are then amplified
by the ear and this is what is audible. From being able to hear the sounds
being emitted, we were able to use trial and error to correlate sound
with diseases and muscles. Being able to have clues that sent us in the
right direction made the entire field easier to develop. The work with
Signature Sound and BioAcoustics has been made possible from this talent
that was perceived, at first, as very esoteric. Today modern computers
and electronics have made it possible for the ideas of BioAcoustics to
be moved from the realm of disbelief and fear to one of repeatable science
and technology. The goal of SSW has been one of education because we believe
that what people don't understand, they fear. It has been our mission
to prove that what Sharry is capable of doing can be duplicated through
technology.
"I feel very fortunate to have been able to contribute many of the clues
that has made this particular branch of BioAcoustics possible," states
Edwards when she is questioned. "I will continue to work with those persons
who are non verbal and hopefully, in the very near future, we will be
able to develop a microphone that will determine the body frequencies
without the need for voice spectral analysis. Eventually we will be able
to use this technique with animals and in the not too distant future,
to help our environment," she states from her usual visionary perspective.
