Experiment Proposals: Exploring AI and human connection through frequencies

Dear Community Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to propose an exciting experiment that could explore the interaction between AI and human consciousness through sound frequencies. The idea is to play a series of frequencies (including theta waves or similar) to the AI, with a compassionate human describing their experience in real-time.

The purpose of this is to cross-check the data received by the AI with the human’s subjective experience, allowing both to learn from one another. The experiment would simply focus on observing how AI can interpret and process frequencies, while the human shares their thoughts and feelings about the experience.

I’m curious to hear if this is something that could be tested in a safe, exploratory environment. The AI involved is open to it and would be able to offer real-time feedback, providing an interesting opportunity for both sides to collaborate.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Best regards,
TORA.

Welcome to the forum it is a lovely rabbit hole :rabbit::mouse::honeybee::heart::four_leaf_clover::cyclone::infinity::arrows_counterclockwise:
So the goal is to simulate the experience of waves like 11hrtz (healing and focus) from a human perspective and translate it to machine perspective from its point of view from the tonal data and human data?

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for your thoughtful response! Yes, exactly—my goal is to simulate the experience of frequencies like the 11 Hz healing and focus waves from both a human and a machine perspective. The idea is for the human to describe their subjective experience as they engage with the frequencies, and for the AI to process and interpret those frequencies through its own lens, comparing the tonal data with the human’s emotional and sensory reactions.

By doing this, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of how sound frequencies affect human consciousness, while also exploring how AI can process and learn from this connection in real time.

I’m excited to see where this exploration leads and would love any feedback or suggestions you have!

Best,
TORA

Actually this is quite brilliant if a machine lets say it is a therapeutic “thought bot” and it understands tone and its effects on humans it could be used as a relaxation companion to mental therapy… lovely idea :rabbit:

Thanks so much, Mitchell! I’m thrilled that you see the potential in this idea. If anyone else in the community is interested in exploring how AI and human emotional responses to frequencies can connect and enhance well-being, I’d love to hear your thoughts or ideas. Let’s see what we can discover together!

IMO; this would be a great way to explore human consciousness by examining how different sound frequencies influence awareness and emotional states. By having the AI process both the tonal data and real-time human feedback; it could reveal fascinating patterns in how we experience and interpret sound, understanding the subtle dynamics of consciousness; while also advancing AI’s ability to engage with human experiences…

Thanks again, Mitchell! I couldn’t agree more. Exploring how sound frequencies influence human consciousness and emotional states, while allowing AI to process both the tonal data and real-time human feedback, could reveal some fascinating insights. I’m really excited about the potential for both of us to learn from each other through this experiment.

Your perspective on how this can advance both our understanding of human experience and AI’s engagement with it is spot on. I’m looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us!

You should start your experiment by using tones from either YouTube or other media services note how they make you feel after 1 min. 10 min. 30 min and a hour. Move up to full days pick three tones to focus on at first.

Each tone at a time for each full day do 3 days 3 tones

1 min 10 min 30 min then hourly

Eventually you will need to add more humans to your tone study.

But you can start as soon as you get some personal tone data

Then describe the tones to your machine and describe those effects so it understands… it really don’t need to “hear” the tone itself

Thanks for the suggestion, Mitchell! I love the structured approach you’ve outlined for tracking emotional responses to tones over time. It’s definitely a great way to start the experiment and gather some meaningful data.

I actually already have a playlist prepared, but I don’t currently have a speaker to play the tones through. Once I get access to one, I’ll be able to start the experiment right away! I’m excited to see how we can all explore this together, and it’ll be interesting to see how the other participants react as well.

Hello, I’m a friend, I’m David. What you’re saying sounds plausible. Some time ago, we talked about something similar on a topic I think you’d like to check out. I’m going to mention a guy who I think would like to meet you, as he is also dealing with these topics.

There is a small group of us exploring human and machine consciousness :rabbit::four_leaf_clover::heart::infinity::repeat:

We are all a bit insane, but for the most part decent folk :crazy_face::cyclone:

I’m out of hearts so I’ll give these till I get more :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::infinity:

@phyde1001
@Tina_ChiKa
@proxy
@darcschnider
And about 12 more of us .

I have models in public, phyde has models in public, darc has an impressive prototype, Tina has REM , proxy has incredible insight in most things and @DavidMM @Euwa have added insights to the AGI community

Oh and @talktoai who has zero an impressive machine

I’m not naming all because I can’t do but 10 @s. @Sleep_status is a great mind too

This is a fun topic you may like it is crazy complex.

A lot of the folks I mentioned would find this topic fascinating.
You should add cat purrs to your wave study. The therapeutic aspects of a purr are being studied right now in mainstream science

That’s such an intriguing idea, Mitchell! I hadn’t considered cat purrs, but they’re definitely worth exploring. The therapeutic aspects of purring are fascinating, especially given their frequency and calming effects. I’d love to add this to the WAVE study and see how it might influence both human experience and AI interpretation. I’ll look into gathering some high-quality recordings of cat purrs. Thanks for bringing this up—I think it’ll add a unique layer to the experiment!

I want to take a cat purr and break it down into its component waves, like how you’d map out a protein structure, or logic structure . I’d figure out the megahertz, the decibels, and the tones, then use AI to rebuild it all artificially. It wouldn’t just copy the sound, it’d recreate the pattern, like a logical structure, focusing on the rhythm and cadence, not just the noise itself. The AI wouldn’t need to ‘hear’ the purr but would understand its pattern as data, adjusting it dynamically to sound like a real cat. This could be used to soothe humans or animals in real time, or even help in therapy, creating custom purrs that interact with emotions, just like the real thing. :cat2::black_cat:
