A new form of protein melody

Just ran across an interesting article in the November 1999 issue of "Wired" 
magazine. Many of you have heard of the work of Dr Michael Persinger who 
experiments with the effects of electomagnetic waves on the brain. Here is a 
quote from the article on his latest work.                                    
                                           "Some of the bursts-which 
Persinger more precisely calls 'a series of complex repetitive patterns whose 
frequency is modulated over time'- have generated their effects with great 
regularity the way aspirin cause pain relief. Persinger has started naming 
them and is creating a sort of EM pharmacological dictionary. A new one the 
Linda Genetic pulse can affect 'Gene Expression'......stringing together a 
number of different  electomagnetic fields to prompt a complicated chemical 
reaction on the genetic level-- for example, directing the body's natural 
self-healing instincts.                 Persinger envisions a series of EM 
patterns that work the way drugs do. Just as you take an antibiotic and it 
has a predictable result you might be exposed to precise EM patterns that 
would signal the brain to carry out comparable effects."                      
  That ends the quote, page 311. Sounds like someone should tell the Doctor 
about the work of Sternheimer.
