But SAM is the only method of precise control of hemispheric specialization and/or interaction and the associated brainwave arousal states, attentional focus, and levels of awareness. The result of such control is the maximizing of experiences in altered states of consciousness, or, put another way, the effective employment of appropriate states of consciousness to state-specific environments or situations. SAM arcs can be generated to facilitate inter-hemispheric integration (synchrony) or to specifically suppress left/ right hemispheric dominance. If a state of consciousness is desired that requires inter-hemispheric processing, then conventional symmetrical SAM arcs are used. A conventional SAM signal generates identical movement-arc stimuli in each hemisphere and will encourage the same arousal level in both hemispheres, establishing equivalent environments and maximizing inter-hemispheric neural communication. If a state of consciousness is desired that requires quieting a dominant hemisphere, then unconventional, special SAM arcs are used. An unconventional SAM signal is one in which the SAM movement-arc in one hemisphere is out of phase and/or frequency with the SAM arc presented to the other hemisphere. This calming down of a dominant hemisphere is possible, fortunately, by virtue of the physiology of the brain. The acoustic nerve fibers of each ear are

unequally divided between the hemispheres. From each ear more nerve fibers (more SAM arc stimulation) go to the opposing hemisphere than to the local hemisphere (Luria, 1970). SAM uses multiple movement-arcs with different frequencies that may be virtually located in many different spatial regions using the arc location and size parameters as illustrated below. This enables stimuli to be focused singularly or on a variety of cortical regions simultaneously. An almost limitless number of subtly different tremolo effects operating at different rates can be created. This flexibility enables unprecedented accuracy in the induction of altered states of consciousness; a wider variety of accessible states; a more reliable and effective methodology; a faster response time for the listener; and deeper emersion during the stabilization phase of induction compared to other audio-guidance technologies. Next Page 4 TMI JOURNAL 2012 Another aspect of brain functioning that extends beyond basic concepts of arousal states, attentional focus, and levels of awareness, involves the brain’s quantum entanglement with nonlocal information and perceptions of reality. Spatial Angle Modulation is designed to be a microtubule spanner. The methodology supposes, given the present
scientific state-of-the-art, that consciousness requires quantum coherence in parallel arrayed neuronal microtubules, viz., Roger Penrose’s “objective reduction” (Hameroff & Penrose, 1996) and uses the resonant tremolo stimulus and frequencies of the SAM oscillating movement-arcs to support and enhance alignment of these cellular structures (Yagi, Kamimura, Kaniya, 1994), viz., the Cymatic effect ( Jenny, 2001). This response to the various SAM stimuli necessarily alters the geometry of zero-point-field (ZPF) spaces (plenums) of tubulin structures at molecular and atomic levels. As the geometric symmetry of the plenums increase, so does ZPF quantum coherence—both within plenums and between geometrically matching plenums. Hypothetically, the greater the quantum coherence quotient, the more nonlocal awareness emerges. This may also explain why greater hemispheric coherence described above typifies extraordinary states of consciousness and profound personal experiences; there is simply a greater quantum coherence quotient when the left and right hemispheres are “in tune” with each other. Binaural beats, monaural beats, and isochronic tones are by nature limited in their flexibility and overall potential, both in design and application. SAM was created with the intent of overcoming and transcending these limitations. In regard to design, the only significant variables available with binaural beats, for example, are the volume and the
