#1 is clearer after the second time around

Jon, thank you! Indeed it should be. The implications if my theory is correct will be fascinating.

So, it would be possible for multiple devices to communicate through sine-wave speech to exchange an handshake?

Jon, Brilliance! indeed they can. I can also send this to you with no sound and only you will hear it.

This is fascinating, Brian. We need to talk more about the science behind this! :)

Teri, thank you sir! I was certain you would find this fascinating. This phenomena has been known for over 100 years. I learned it at Bell Labs in the 1970s. A few years back I found you could actually increase the amount of information you can send to a person. Amazing times.

That’s neat. Teaching one’s brain to understand something that was previously not understandable. Giving shape to gibberish. Impressed you did it w/sound. Thinking you might have already pulled it off also adding touch Turning recognition into a whole body experience

Antoine, thank you sir! Brilliant observations! Indeed I have performed this with touch and with sent wirelessly to the body from a distance of a few 1000 feet with no device on the body. If I had more research dollars I can improve quality robustly.

Hey Brian, were you a part of the research team this came from? http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/matt.davis/sine-wave-speech/ …

Amazing work brian, any research into if this could be abused for marketing purposes such as in a queue for food (subliminal messaging) to change order choice ?

Lee, great question and points. Indeed. It is one reason I have made my work public. It is also why I have not released my site-wave sounds. The power to transmit this high data rate information must be considered ethically. But the positives are astounding.

Completely amazing and great you focus on the ethical implications. Is there any duration limits you have found. Could it work with 3,5,60 minute of audio ?

Lee, thank you! I really appreciate it. Indeed this is a lot of my work over the last 10 years is to discover the frontier and thresholds. I have used this with binaurals and extended it to almost 300 pages of text, although almost all is subconsciously transmitted with retention

Is there any way to volunteer for this? The thought of this being possible and not using it personally is killing me.

Logan, thanks for asking! I have you on the list. I hope by the summer it will be fit for very, very early public testing. Making progress lately.

Wow, I have so many questions like 1. Does your research take into account intonation in any way? (I have perfect pitch) 2. Have you tested languages other than English & how does it compare? (I’m guessing it makes no difference) 3. Is there any application for hard of hearing

Lana, Thank you! Great questions! 1) Yes. I can encode speech in music also! 2) All languages respond the same. Multi-lingual may need native. 3) Indeed, as a “touch” “sound” it may aid in “hearing”. I can duplicate sine-wave speech as haptics.

Wow, I literally got chills thinking about #3. As someone who has zero experience with braille (or what is currently in the marketplace) am I correct in assuming that combining this with touch/haptics opens up a whole new world (eg. enabled devices), indeed a new “language”?

Lana, indeed. I am very reserved about this as I am just some guy in a garage and a piggy bank for my VC. But indeed early haptic tests has allowed me to see that it is possible with my contraptions.

Brian, I want my phone turned into a haptic Morse code device! (You should also contact the Broccoli family so they put it in their next Bond script for “Q”! ) Congrats-this is really amazing!
