great inventions take 50 years before they are
understood. In 1991, Martin Lenhardt of the University
of Virginia discovered that human beings have the
ability to detect ultrasonic sound when it is transmitted
through the skin, bones and liquids of the body. His
groundbreaking discovery was published in the
prestigious journal Science, Vol. 253, 5, 1991, 82.

can hear the ultrasonic energy emitted by these
mammals through our saccule. By using the
®
Neurophone , we can train our brain pathways so that
we can “hear” through the saccule pathway. It may be
that our ancestors could communicate with whales and
dolphins by the use of ultrasonic sound. When the
®
Neurophone is used as an experimental listening
device, these pathways are developed and appear to
expand consciousness balancing the left and right
hemispheres of the brain.
People who have used the Neurophone ® daily over
an extended time find that it helps to relieve stress and
imparts a feeling of well-being.

The GPF-1011 DSP Neurophone® has been developed
and engineered to provide a means for ultrasonic waves
to be interpreted by our brain as “hearing”. The
5 6
technology bypasses the normal audio mechanisms used
by the body to hear sound and provides a direct neural
stimulation directly to the brain. By bypassing the ears
to hear- reading, meditating, studying and learning in
general may become easier to comprehend and retain.
Generally, commercial digital speech recognition
circuitry is based on a technology called dominant
frequency power analysis. While speech may be
recognized by such a circuit, a more effective and
natural speech encoding is based on time ratios. If the
phase of the frequency power analysis circuits are not
correct, they will not work. The intelligence (sound) is
carried by phase information. The frequency content of
the voice gives our voice a certain quality, but
frequency does not contain information. Most attempts
at computer voice recognition and voice generation are
only partially successful. Until digital time-ratio
encoding is used, our computers will never be able to
truly talk to us.
By recognizing and using time-ratio encoding, we
could transmit clear voice data through extremely
®
narrow bandwidths. If the Neurophone transducers
are placed on the closed eyes or on the face, the sound
can be clearly 'heard' as if it were coming from inside
the brain. When the transducers are placed on the face,
the sound is perceived through the trigeminal nerve.
There was an earlier test performed at Tufts
University that was designed by Dr. Dwight Wayne
Batteau, one of my partners in the United States Navy
Dolphin Communication Project. This test was known as
the "Beat Frequency Test". It is well known that sound
waves of two slightly different frequencies create a
'beat' note as the waves interfere with each other. For
example, if a sound of 300 Hertz and one of 330 Hertz
are played into one ear at the same time, a beat note
of 30 Hertz will be perceived. This is a mechanical
summation of sound in the bone structure of the inner
ear. There is another beat, sounds beat together in the
corpus callosum in the center of the brain. This
binaural beat is used by the Monroe Institute and others
to simulate altered brain states by entraining (causing
brain waves to lock on and follow the signal) the brain
into high alpha or even theta brain states. These brain
states are associated with creativity, lucid dreaming
7 8
and other states of consciousness otherwise difficult to
®
reach when awake. The Neurophone is a powerful
brain entrainment device. If we play alpha or theta
signals directly through the Neurophone ®, we can move
the brain into any state desired.
Batteau's theory was that if we could place the
®
Neurophone transducers so that the sound was
perceived as coming from one side of the head only,
and if we played a 300 Hertz signal through the
®
Neurophone , if we also played a 330 Hertz signal
through an ordinary headphone we would get a beat
note if the signals were summing in the inner ear bones.
When the test was conducted, we were able to perceive
two distinct tones without beat. This test again proved
that Neurophonic hearing was not through bone
conduction.
The key to the Neurophone ® GPF-1011 DSP is the
stimulation of the nerves of the skin with a digitally
coded signal that carries the same time-ratio code that
is recognized as sound by any nerve in the body.

Unpacking your Neurophone®

Each Neurophone® has an individual serial number
and is packaged and shipped with each component
wrapped for protection of the instrument.

When using the Neurophone ®, the goal will be to

work towards decreasing gain and still “hearing” the
audio or pink noise. The time needed for this process
varies between individuals, however generally your
sensitivity to the input will increase over a few weeks Carefully remove the contents of the
carton and remove the protective
