Auditory Stimulation

Auditory Stimulation in the greater Indian Harbour Beach,
Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne areas.

Sound therapy has existed in one form or another for many years.  The current literature suggests that the right cerebral hemisphere is more sensitive to low frequency sounds and that the left cerebral hemisphere is more sensitive to high frequency sounds.

The left cerebral hemisphere is the dominant hemisphere for language in 99% of right hand dominant people and 96% of left hand dominant people. The left cerebral hemisphere is commonly associated with being more sequential, analytical, detail oriented, and logical than the right hemisphere.  The right hemisphere by contrast is more commonly associated with global processing, seeing images, perceiving shape and motion, and speech intonation. The “Mozart Effect” targets the left cerebral hemisphere as compositions by Mozart have some of the greatest occurrences of high frequency notes in them.

Sound therapy has recently been shown to have a significant effect on postural stability. Different music can affect the activation of different parts of the brain (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, occipital cortex, and cerebellum) differently. I thought only teenagers knew that music helped them!
