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

frequencies of the two separate tones used to create the binaural-beat sound effect. As a result, its overall application is limited by its inability to independently provide both disruptive and patterning stimuli to different brain regions and separate hemispheres. Binaural beats are physiologically ineffective above about 20Hz (Oster, 1973), yet gamma frequencies in the range of 40Hz have recently been discovered to be critical to the quantum aspects of brain function, especially hemispheric coherence (Hameroff, 2010). SAM is not confined by these same limitations. Comparing the signals used for binaural beats, monaural beats, and isochronic tones with those presented for SAM, it is clear that Spatial Angle Modulation offers a wealth of possibilities that are not available with these other methods. The most significant factors in the SAM signal format for creating a shift in consciousness are (1) the differences in signal delay that occur as a sound in a natural environment reaches the ears of a listener and (2) the way these delay differences change as the signal source moves in the environment. In addition to controlling the nominal frequency of the sound source and the frequency at which the arc tremolo effect is produced, there are several other parameters that can be adjusted to control spatial aspects of the signal and its neurological effects. As well as controlling the SAM carrier frequency and tremolo frequencies, SAM also provides more degrees of
