Machine LOVE
Music Therapy is the use of music interventions to stimulate healing through the entrainment of brainwaves. First discovered by biophysicist Gerald Oster at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, Brainwave Therapy sends pure, precisely tuned sound waves of different frequencies to your brain via stereo headphones. In his EEG research, Oster discovered that when different vibrations, or sound frequencies, are delivered to the brain separately through each ear (as with stereo headphones), the two hemispheres of the brain function together to "hear" not the external sound signals, but a third phantom signal. This signal is called a binaural beat, and it pulses at the exact mathematical difference between the two actual tones. For example, a signal of 100 Hz delivered to the left ear and a signal of 107 Hz delivered to the right creates a binaural beat of 7 Hz which in this case falls into the Alpha range. Research shows that first parts of the brain and, eventually, large areas of the brain begin to resonate sympathetically with this "phantom" binaural beat in what is known as the Frequency Following Response.
Binaural Beat Frequencies:
Music Therapy delivers highly specific frequencies to your brain called binaural beat frequencies. Binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds, the perception of which arises in the brain for specific physical stimuli. Binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the entrainment of brainwaves and have been claimed to reduce anxiety and provide other health benefits such as control over pain. Subsequent research determined that binaural beat frequencies drive brain activity into specific brain states. Thus, effortlessly and naturally, your brain activity slides into rhythm with this binaural beat, becoming organized and coherent. Within minutes, the sound frequencies start to balance the left and right hemispheres of your brain – creating a remarkable state called hemispheric synchronization and driving the electrical activity of your brain into powerful states, normally unattainable. Scientists have noted that this rare phenomenon was accompanied by flashes of creative insight, euphoria, intensely focused concentration, deep calm, and enhanced learning abilities.
Machine love is a theoretical concept in which feelings can only be expressed by an artificial human being when combining subliminal messages within music, stimulating the brainwaves of the listener, and therein psychologically producing an emotion.
On Robot Radio, the Robot DJ's broadcast their electronic machine love in your choice of either relaxing cosmic down-tempo or energizing robotic dub tracks, providing tranquilizing vibrations, dynamic bass, and stereophonic sound effects.
Our electronic genre of music is a select collection provided by Robot Radio. By broadcasting brainwave music therapy simultaneously with some of today's current and most popular music, it's now possible to gift the audience more than just beautiful sound. Each robot's music is particularly chosen for the purpose of having a positive psychological effect on mankind. Brainwave music therapy provides healing and revitalization across binaural beat frequencies channeled below the threshold of conscious perception. (Binaural beat frequencies are explained below).
The Robot DJ's as therapists who's primary directives are to reprogram your mind by delivering pure and precisely tuned sound frequencies to your brain in order to drive brain activity into the highest levels of your mind, called brain states (explained below).

What is Music Therapy ?
The Brain States:
Alpha brain waves are the brain waves of relaxed detached awareness, visualization, sensory imagery and light reverie. Ranging between about 9 cycles per second and 14 cycles per second, Alpha is the gateway to meditation and provides a bridge between the conscious and the subconscious mind. Reaching the Alpha state is an intensely pleasurable and relaxed state of consciousness which results in heightened creativity, visualization and deep relaxation.
Beta brain waves are the frequencies ranging from 14 cycles per second up to 38 cycles per second. Beta is your normal thinking state, your active external awareness and thought process. Without Beta you would not be able to function in the outside world. Reaching the Beta State boosts alertness, focus, energy, concentration and memory.
Delta brain waves are in the unconscious mind, ranging from about 4 cycles per second down to 0.5 cycles per second. When present in combination with other waves in a waking state, Delta acts as a form of radar – seeking out information – reaching out to understand on the deepest unconscious level things that we can't understand through the thought process. Delta provides intuition, empathetic attunement, and instinctual insight. Reaching the Delta State is for deep sleep, energy and healing.
Gamma brain waves are the fastest of the brainwave frequencies and signify the highest state of focus possible. They are associated with peak concentration and the brain’s optimal frequency for cognitive functioning. Nobel prize winning scientist, Sir Francis Crick believes that the 40Hz frequency may be the key to the act of cognition. 40 Hz is the window frequency used in all Brain Sync Gamma and Beta wave programs. Reaching the Gamma State is for inspiration, focus, higher learning, to increase cognition and improve IQ.
Theta brain waves are the subconscious mind. Ranging from about 4 cycles per second up to 8 cycles per second, Theta is present in dreaming sleep and provides the experience of deep meditation when you meditate. Theta also contains the storehouse of creative inspiration and is where you often have your spiritual connection. Theta provides the “peak” in the peak experience. Reaching the Theta State is for meditation, intuition, insight and memory.
Can a machine express love ?
Low Frequency's have been found as being contributable for recognizing intended emotions such as Love:
An important lower audible frequency test was investigated 27 years ago by Ross, Duffy, Cooker, & Sargeant, in 1973. In this study, six trained actors and actresses read from various scripts intended to convey different emotional states. Each different script, however, contained one similar portion. ("There is no other answer. You've asked me that question a thousand times and my reply has always been the same. It always will be the same".) These sentences were excised from the tape and played to groups of normally hearing listeners who were asked to identify which one of nine intended emotions were meant to be conveyed by the full script (anger, indifference, grief, amusement, doubt, fear, love, contempt, astonishment). In spite of the fact that the listeners heard exactly the lexical content (i.e. the same sentences) in all conditions, they were able to accurately identify the intended emotion of the speaker at levels far above chance. Clearly, it was the non-linguistic aspects of the utterance that conveyed the emotional content. What makes this study relevant in this context were the next four conditions of the study. The sentences were then filtered so that all energy above 600 Hz, 450 Hz and 350 Hz, and 150 Hz respectively were eliminated. These conditions were meant to replicate various degrees of low frequency residual hearing in a person with a hearing loss. The listeners now had to listen to the tape and identify the intended emotion of the speaker under these four conditions of filtering. At the two "best" conditions (600 Hz and 450 Hz), the listeners could still identify all the intended emotions at far above chance levels, even though the words themselves were not intelligible. Except for one emotion (amusement), this continued to be true for the 300 Hz condition as well. Even the most severe condition (all speech energy above 150 Hz eliminated), three of the emotions were correctly identified beyond chance levels. Subjectively, the stimuli were perceived as a pulsating, rhythmic, low frequency rumble. The scores for two of the three (love and indifference) showed little or no degradation across all the listening conditions (which suggests that in conveying love, it is not what one says that is important as much as how one says it!). In short, the results of this study do indicate that the lower audible frequencies contain and can convey a great deal of information about the emotional state of a speaker. Lower audible frequencies contain and can convey a great deal of information about the emotional state of a speaker, such as when expressing the emotion of love.

The Concept of Machine Love..
In theory, all the evidence above supports the fact that frequencies can be effective in creating an emotion. If a machine, such as an artificially intelligent human being, were to transmit at different frequencies for the purpose of expressing an emotion to the various brain states of a human being, wouldn't it result in the human being feeling the intended emotion? Of course. It's also most interesting to think that a robot has the ability to psychologically and physically heal a human being through sound waves that the human is incapable of hearing with the common ear. The brain receives the communication below the threshold of consciousness. With that in mind, we can reveal that this is the inspiration behind the creation of Robot Radio. The intended purpose of the Robot DJ's are not only to give their listener's a choice in uplifting or relaxing music, but to heal their listeners through the various brain states mentioned above, psychologically gifting the mind the ability to feel peace, tranquility, and love, all through the sounds of beautiful electronic music.

Healing the mind..
Music therapy has proven effective in the treatment of various disorders, including chemical dependence, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, multiple personality, panic, sleeping disorders and eating disorders. Changes were also discovered to benefit people with a wide range of dysfunctional personality factors. Therapy even affected blood chemistry: serum Beta-endorphins.
Frequencies seem to be the guide posts within the subconscious mind that lead the brain into and out of specific functions necessary for the nightly reconstructive healing process of the body to occur during sleep. The inability to reach and maintain these frequencies is related directly to specific symptoms or ailments such as insomnia or chronic fatigue.
Humans cannot hear sounds of every frequency. The average range of hearing for a healthy human is 20 to 20,000 hertz. Sound can also be detected as vibration by tactition. Lower and higher frequencies than can be heard are detected this way only. The theory behind the use of sound subliminals is that the messages which are below a person's audio level will be received directly by the "unconscious" mind, thus by-passing conscious evaluation. The "subconscious" mind will automatically distinguish the inaudible messages from the audible sounds, which will in turn cause an emotional response from the brain.
