Influence of music on memory and education, and the application of its underlying principles to acupuncture

Journal/Book: Acupunct Electrother Res. 1983; 8: 1-16.

Abstract: The interrelations among learning, brain waves, music and the relief of pain by acupuncture are discussed from the standpoint of an educator, who has some practical experience in suggestive-accelerative learning and teaching (S.A.L. T.). Through the diverse fields of science, e.g. educational psychology, physiology, electronics and acoustics, the principal law governing the l/f fluctuations (where f is frequency), or the inverse frequency distribution of the power spectrum, seems to play an important role in their phenomenological mechanism. The author totally explained in this paper such relations and he arranged the related phenomena into physical, physiological, psychological and pedagogical fields. Finally, he referred to an interesting example of the application of l/f fluctuations to the relief of pain by acupuncture.
