 Bullroarers - an article by Bethe Hagens   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Infrasonics and Consciousness Modification In the mid-1980s, a radical reassessment began when acoustic scientists determined that bullroarers produce a range of infrasonics, extremely low frequency sound waves (20 Hz.
Infrasonics stimulate a wide array of euphoric, eerie, and/or deeply traumatic trance-like and hallucinogenic states, and serotonin nerves may be central to this process.
Infrasonics fall within the same frequency range as brain waves, and brain waves have been experimentally linked to a variety of mood and thought patterns.

The study of infrasound waves may be known as "infrasonics" or "infra acoustics", a contemporary study in both biological and geological sciences (11).
Infrasonic research is based upon frequencies of 10.0 Hz or below, to 0.0010 Hz (used in monitoring earthquakes), although the lower limit of infrasonic domain is not strictly defined (20).
Infrasonic wavelengths possess the ability to travel through both water and air mediums, being measured in decibels (dB), however the measurement scale for decibels in air differs from the scale used for those in water (4).

Infrasonic frequencies refer to those which are lower than 25 Hz.
Vibrations which are infrasonic or which are considered infrasonic in character may cause slow variations in air pressure or in the elasticity of any wave - transmitting material.
The outgoing sound pulses are registered by the brain and compared to its echo, thus allowing many organisms to both see and catch prey in the dark.

 Cabinet Magazine Online - The Acoustics of War
Eventually, engineers traced the problem to an improperly installed motor-driven ventilator that activated an infrasonic resonance in a large duct where it sat.
The motor, coupled with the rest of the concrete building, itself a large enclosure, formed an infrasonic amplifier.
Shutting the windows altered the resonance of the building and shifted its infrasonic pitch.

INFRASONICS INFANT STAR High-Frequency Ventilator: We are currently using the Infrasonics Infant Star ventilator at a frequency of 15 Hz (900 breaths/minute) in premature infants who develop PIE while on conventional mechanical ventilation.
The Infant Star is a flow interrupter, not a true oscillator, but its physiological effects and advantages are similar to those of true oscillators.
AMPLITUDE: a rough representation of the volume of gas flow in each high frequency pulse or "breath." Adjust the amplitude until you achieve vigorous chest wall vibrations, usually occurs at an amplitude of 20-30.

 Interviews - Infrasonics
Apart from our web site, the science of infrasonics has a pretty fascinating history.
Before we started the Infrasonics, I never believed a cold sterile machine like a computer could merge with passionate music, to the point where we can even be spontaneous or improvisational within the context of our songs.
For example, a song like Airliner, with its note-for-note guitar solo is three minutes and change on the record, and pretty much stays that way live.
