  • Corpus Callosum

    Hello. I’ve heard of brainwave therapy for creating ” Whole brain synchronization “. Strengthening the comunication between the two halves of the brain through the corpus callosum. Do Gregorian chants have this effect? Thank you. Andrew Gray

    • Yes. Gregorian chants do have that effect. Dr. Alfred Tomatis wrote a lot about how chants influence the brain. I think music in general can help the brain and it accelerates recovery from stroke and people with ADD and these are not just buzz words being thrown aroun but things clinics use. I think the evidence for improved corpus callosum is it helps people linquistically recover from stroke and language is in another area of the brain from Music. Ventral tegmental area is stimulates as well as other areas and language is found in Broca’s and Wernicke’s are of the brain.

      • IQ and chants

        Hello, thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I have heard that meditating in theta brainwaves can improve intelligence.If Gregorian Chants can take me to the theta state, is it possible that it might improve my IQ? Thank you for your time. Andrew

        • People will say no, but there was at least one study that showed meditation can increase IQ or at least scores. Similarly, I think Gregorian chants might do this. However, I think partners problem solving, building ECP and maybe something like image streaming might be more effcient. But I think I have done some of my most creative works listening to chants. And if you study in silence and then after listen to chants for 20 minutes after I think you will retain more.
          IQ is largely connected to how we are hard wired but not totally. I also believe you can change your hardwiring or at least software in your brainIn the future they will have better limitless type pills. Now there are a few things that seem to help.

          • IQ

            Hello, thanks again for your time. You said that thier are some things that may increase iq. I’m going to try Piracetam which they say helps, ( and also strengthens and enlarges the corpus callosum ). I thought the combination might be very effective.I have heard of image streaming and will check it out some more. I’m also getting into Equisyc theta meditation cd’s.Also I have bought a dual n-back program. Can you tell me of any other intelligece enhancing options out there? Thank you for all the time you have given me. Andrew
