While exploring the development of Communication and Learning Aids in all venues, particularly the effect of music on learning, several different tracks were followed. The therapeutic use of music is for relaxation and stress reduction, which apparently helps the body to access and discharge deeply locked-in material. The Mozart Effect track which although tried on college students improved their Spatial-Temporal (ST) abilities] exploded into "Miracle of Mozart" claims made to stimulate the brain and accelerate the learning process by increasing receptivity and retention. The "Mozart Effect" is a term coined by Alfred Tomatis (Toma-teece), a French physician who has devoted his life over the past fifty years to the physiological effects of sound. He observed that of all types and composers of music, Mozart's high frequency (HF) music created the greatest healing effect on the human body. More recently, Gordon Shaw and Frances Rauscher at the Department of Physics and the Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory (University of California, Irvine) conducted specific research studies where college students who listened to the Mozart Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major (K.448) had short-term enhancement of their spatial-temporal (ST) reasoning, as in chess, music or mathematics-- like Gardner's "Spatial Intelligence." The researchers likened the Mozart Effect to a "Rosetta stone for the 'code' or internal language of higher brain function {HBF}." The leading therapeutic use of music and imagery today is known as Guided Imagery & Music (GIM), although there is no guided imagery in the process. Imagery is, however, used successfully as a pre-surgical tool, as well as its designation as a placebo--a thing that has no intrinsic medicinal properties, but through the power of suggestion, produces a healing effect through the release of endorphins that can elevate mood and provide quick release from pain and discomfort. However, the term Mozart Effect has become generalized and popularized to refer to the beneficial effects of any type of music on the body-mind-spirit triad for healing the body, strengthening the mind and/or unlocking the creative spirit--any music-mind-intelligence-learning technology experience. Ex-President Bill Clinton tore a tendon and required extensive surgery (1997), which he chose to undergo without anesthesia--but with the operating room resounding with the kind of country-western music that had pulled him through his tough Arkansas youth. In Tokyo, noodle makers sell "Musical Udon" made with tapes of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and the chirping of birds playing in the background. In monasteries in Brittany, monks play music to the animals in their care, having found that cows serenaded with Mozart give more milk. Yet, as with all unsubstantiated, improvable "snake-oil" type claims of coincidence and murky cure-alls: "Caveat emptor"--Let the buyer beware!
