@Lavici if you are trying to replicate results, it will probably be tough to find the exact models of technology that were used in the 80s and 90s. This is purely my opinion, but you should look more deeply into how some members of I.N.I.T. achieved 'resonance.' Those efforts are more fruitful than any specific technology used in my experience. If you catch the attention of a spirit-side group, they will find a way to make contact to you. Best of luck. -
Before I introduce another steampunk method, let me hypothesize some ITC principles
DanSmith commented on Michael Lee's blog entry in Michael's Portal Station
"Is it common for people to use white or pink noise and apply EQ filters (high pass and low pass) to achieve only the desired frequency range?" Mike: I did several builds over the years trying to tackle this problem. I wanted a range of frequencies to be present in the environment. Obviously adding audible noise causes several other issues to deal with. The best method I came up with was to introduce the frequencies silently in the form of light. By transforming sound into light and then recollecting the light with a sensitive solar cell. Some voices come across as whispers and some simple analysis shows that those type of voices are usually missing the fundamental frequency to give the intonation of human voice. My hypothesis was that by introducing a blanket of frequencies we might cause beat frequencies and/or provide the fundamental frequency needed to 'round out' a voice. As best I can tell, through using shielding and as many controls as you can, it's POSSIBLE this hypothesis MAY be true. I'm currently working on a setup that uses sound transformed into light and an acousto-optic tunable filter that is able to split a laser into different bands like a prism before being collected and demodulated back into sound. Hopefully in the coming years I will be able to design a solid study to really look into what effect, if any, introducing a broad range of frequencies actually has on voice quality. -
I've never heard of this phenomenon of having memories of being in the womb. Fascinating.

Wow thanks for sharing this Alberto. I enjoyed the first movie and look forward to the sequel.

Congrats on finding something intriguing! Like every other experimenter, you have to find a process that you resonate with...and maybe you've found it! Keep experimenting, trying different methods, and soon enough you will earn the attention of spirit helpers. It will then become obvious and your tinkering with equipment won't mean much anymore. Because ultimately they (our spirit friends/communicators) are the ones who control the profound communications. Best of luck! Don't stop.

Hi Mike, Welcome! If you haven't already, you should look around the forums and blog posts. I know I speak for myself and others when I say that input from an audio engineer like yourself would be invaluable with regard to some projects that are ongoing.

SpiriTron IS BACK!!! - Streaming Live
DanSmith replied to Arizona EVP's topic in Share Your Results of Live Streams Here
Hmm... I've added it to my ideas and I'll let you know if anything comes of it. I'll have to map out the probability variables. Of course t (time) but I would have to really think about what other variables to include in a stochastic process. -
SpiriTron IS BACK!!! - Streaming Live
DanSmith replied to Arizona EVP's topic in Share Your Results of Live Streams Here
Hi Ron, do you know if anyone has ever experimented with using the Spiritron file along with some sort of random number generator or stochastic process. I was thinking of attempting this with or without variables. -
Prof. Dr. Ernst Senkowski - sein letztes Interview
DanSmith replied to Rosamina's topic in Interessante Links
Senkowski was an exceptional talent and the true epitome of greatness in his area of work. Everyone should approach their studies with the level of care, scrutiny and importance that he invested. Thanks for sharing. -
Hi Dan,
I am not active on the public Varanormal forum for reasons I won't get into. So I thought I would answer you by private message. I have not dived into the forensic platforms, but would like to in the future. Some of the software is pricey.
I like your comment about using biofeedback to trigger a recording session. That's the kind of out-of-the-box thinking that is needed! I encourage you to experiment with that.
Tuning to the unique energetic signature of each spirit is an interesting approach. Hopefully, there can be a system that does not require this, as it would necessitate constant adjustment.
I agree with you that the nature of the "subtle energies" are unknown. Few have been willing to tackle that question. If we can get a grasp on it, we should be able to make progress.
The evidence does point to spirits leading the way technologically. It may be an absolute limit, but I think it's more because we haven't advanced far enough on this side. That needs to change if we are ever able to gain control of the phenomenon.
Steve-
A biofeedback study has been on my project list for a few years now. Like most science, progress is slow. But what I envision in my mind is a somewhat complicated thing.
To even write a proper research plan for this idea, I think that I would probably go with a double-blind study. One where "normal" people are the control group. And a group of psychics or mediums would be the test group. I imagine the setup would be rigorous, with an array of several bio sensors attached to the person's body. Say... pulse, muscle tension, piezoelectric, a galvanic skin response module... maybe even blood oxygen, body temperature, ECG, blood pressure...you can see how involved and messy this would become.
I'm literally thinking this out as I write, but all of that effort SEEMS to be a waste of time in my mind. If a person is making a meaningful connection with a spirit that could possibly trigger an electronic voice projection, my first thought is to look at what's happening in the brain. Brainwave headsets have come down in price significantly in recent years. Conducting a double-blind study of brain activity while correlating recorded voices or other phenomena SEEMS to me to possibly be the root of what's happening. I would think that any biofeedback measurements would occur as a secondary result of the human/spirit connection.
And I'm sure you well-know how difficult it is to even qualify real voice recordings due to the problem of pareidolia and the way individual people perceive sound and voices when you have independent groups try to quantify what they're hearing.
And yes, I totally agree that spirits lead the way in terms of which researchers or groups they are attracted to or want to communicate with. From the limited experience I have in receiving technical info from my spirit team, it seems like the goal is to simply get the researcher(s) excited or resonating properly to help the contacts. I really believe it has little to do with any meaningful technical details on our side. I mean, there was a woman who used to get voices through her coffee pot back in the 1990s! "The Coffee Pot Ghost" or something similar was the name of her blog LOL.
I also rarely use the forums on sites like these. I imagine your reasons are probably along the same lines as mine; I'm very careful about sharing and asking questions to not put the delicate connection of an ITC bridge at risk.
I wish you all the best in your efforts. I have a feeling that we will be able to bounce a lot of ideas off one another!

ITC session protocol template
DanSmith replied to Andres Ramos's topic in ThinkTank - Let's Brainstorm Together!
Given the fact that different tools or methods seem to work for different researchers, this type of generalization may prove difficult. I can only think of scientific controls to put into place such as using a Faraday cage or shielding during audio recording... or perhaps having a medium conduct a session once as they usually would, then maybe placing them standing on a grounding mat to see if any correlation can be drawn. What environmental factors even play a role in certain phenomena? I once conducted a blind study on environmental conditions recorded when someone reported a personal experience of feeling physical interaction with something unseen. The only correlation found was that ionization rates showed positive polarity in excess of 2000ppm at the moment someone reported a physical event in 59% of reports. This SUGGESTS, although does not prove, that those in spirit may exist in a state that is opposite of humans. To mean that we may reverse polarity when we take on a spiritual form. I would be fascinated to see some of these templates. It's always so interesting to see what works for some researchers. -
Forensic Audio Analysis Software
DanSmith replied to sglanz's topic in ThinkTank - Let's Brainstorm Together!
Spectral filtering within Adobe Audition can make some difference in clarifying voice profiles. I have never worked with forensic audio analysis. Did you ever dive into this? -
I've pondered/meditated on this topic A LOT over the years. The current problem in regard to our spirit friends is identifying an energetic signature for that specific person. To date, there is just too little known about the subtle energies involved in their "form." For a living person, this type of automation could be done with sensors for biofeedback. For example, once a medium reaches a theta brain state, a trigger could be developed that takes an action...say, begins recording audio. But the real problem is that our technology seems to make little difference; we're never the ones leading the way. We're just along for the ride. This dream would most likely need to be achieved by spirit teams working to bridge the gap back to US.
