Hi:

I have read about the neurophone which claims to produce auditory
perception through nerve stimulation. Something to do with electric
signals of certain frequencies being sensed as sound by the brain.

Science proves that temporal bone vibration can be used to cause
auditory pseudohallucinations.

"Radio-reception. A 35 year old Vietnam combat, veteran (32) started
to complain of depression, headaches, and hearing blurred voices and
music. Skull X-rays showed shrapnel metallic densities in the soft
tissues and cranial bones of the left parieto-occipital region. His
perception of voices and music were matched with stations in the AM
broadcast band, and consistently identified the same station in the
560 Khz range. His radio- reception involved the metal implant diode
rectification of the radio signal, and its bone transmission to the
auditory apparatus. Other cases of broadcast reception due to dental
work have been reported as well."

The above pseudohallucination is no surpise to me and not at all
fascinating.

Cochlear implants stimulate the peripheral auditory nerve-endings in
the cochlea. Electric signals excite these nerve endings. The
neurophone is said to work differently -- by using electric signals on
any nerve in the body. At a specific frequency this is supposed to
stimulate the auditory cortex of the brain. This, according to
Flantech, causes a perception of sound. Isn't this too good to be true,
given the state of today's technology?
