I will keep=a log of these days and make up for them. This last month I did the followi=g: published 4 articles=(I otherwise do 8 per month). drafted and fleshed =ut seven forum concepts including: signal intelligence & biological sy=tems, music and the brain, dreaming, alternative currencies and the p=edator/prey dynamic of biology. Go to: www.jeffreyepsteinforum.com <http://www.jeffreyepstei=forum.com> posted your concepts=on a host of science blogs and forums listed your websites= blog and forum with google analytics. (your .org site has had approx. 30,=00 visitors) Wikipedia: I finally=got your photo changed and mug shot removed. Put all your website links on=o Wiki as well as positive press links. updated your website= and blog with content. created a proper sit= map for your .org site. talked with Business=Wire to set up a press release account with them. They did a complimentary=analysis of my press releases and things I can do to optimize them.</=PAN> talked with CEO of R=putation Changer. He's ready to do a conference call with you. My goal this month is: 8 press articles via=Business Wire, optimizing them slightly=differently. Blasting your forum concepts on every discussion panel, bl=g I can find. Fleshing out all of =our concepts further. Hopefully getti=g you started with Reputation Changer.

Below is a sample concept: Can music be an insight into the workings of the brain? For example, why =oes the brain like to hear octaves, certain harmonies and pitch resolution= </=PAN> Music is the manipulation of audible frequencie=. More specifically, it is the establishment and manipulation of frequency=patterns and frequency intensities. So why does the brain find patterns an= various sequences of frequency intensities stimulating? r/DIV> Some Bac=ground: The ear converts all sound waves =nto electrochemical impulses that charge the neocortex of the brain. More =pecifically, the basilar membrane of the brain in the cochlea, the small snail-like structure in the inne= ear, vibrates to incoming sound and at different sinusoidal frequencies d=e to variations in thickness and width along the length of the membrane. <=PAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">Tonotopy studies the spatial arrang=ment of frequencies along the basilar membrane. =he tonotopy of frequencies projects through the vestibulocochlear nerve, t=rough associated midbrain structures, through the auditory radiation pathw=y and to the primary auditory cortex. Throughout the radiation pathway, fr=quency organization is linear in accordance to neural sensitivity; =SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">(human auditory neurons =eact to vibrations in air pressure that occur between 20 to 20,000 times p=r second- 20hz to 20,000hz on the human audible spectrum). However, binaural fusion i= the superior oliviary complex affects the signal strength of each ganglio=. As a result, six tonotopic maps have be=n identified in the primary auditory cortex of humans. Pitches are frequencies of increa=ing or decreasing multiples. Higher pitches translate to higher frequencie=. Lower pitches to lower ones. Pitches that are an octave apart correspond=to frequencies that have exactly half or double the frequency. For example, if one note has = frequency of 440 Hz, the note an octave above it is at 880 Hz, and the no=e an octave below is at 220 Hz. <=PAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Harmonies are frequencies=with whole number multiples of the fundamental (or lowest) frequency of an= pitch. Resolution=/SPAN> in western tonal music theory is the move of a note or cho=d from dissonance (an unstable sound) to consonance (a more final or stabl= sounding one). In terms of audib=e frequency, resolution is the move from non-multiple frequencies back to = frequency that is a multiple of the dominant fundamental frequency. Theories and Questions:</=> 1. Patterns, whether visual, rhythmic or audible have =een shown to stimulate the brain. Patterns facilitate and reward predictio= and prediction is a network and prioritization of associative memory. Functional Magnetic =esonance Imaging (fMRI) shows that the orbitofrontal cortex plays a critic=l role, amongst others, in making predictions and leads to an increase in =-endorphin levels and a decrease in plasma cortisol, a marker for stress. So what doe= the desire for predictions tell us about the brain? 2. Similar, to reading a book or watching a movie, the=manipulation of frequency intensities found in music can mimic human life =xperiences and all the stimulating associations that come with it. The sec=nd question therefore, is why does the human brain like to experience a du=lication of its experiences? cell: 2 EFTA_R1_01368399 EFTA02368949 email: <mailto From:=/SPAN> Jeffrey <'eeyacation@ mail.com> To: Sent: Wedn=sday, August 22, 2012 10:49 PM Sub=ect: Please summarize this months work to =ate Sorry for all the typos Sent from my iPhone <=DIV> 3 EFTA_R1_01368400 EFTA02368950
