Sound transmission to the brain

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of the human body acting as a receiver for radio signals, given its nature as an electrolytic conductor. Participants clarify that simply being a conductor is insufficient for demodulation; a non-linear device like a diode is necessary, which is present in dental fillings but not in the body. The conversation also touches on the potential for using various modulation techniques, but emphasizes the need for proper understanding of signal processing principles. There is skepticism regarding the body's ability to demodulate signals without metal components. Ultimately, the consensus is that without specific structures, the human body cannot naturally demodulate radio signals.

I'm in a PM conversation with the OP. I will try to see if there is a modification to his project proposal that is answerable so this thread can be unlocked. Stay tuned...

Unfortunately, after the PM conversation with the OP and finally seeing the actual project proposal wording, there is no way to make this happen physically (and safely for the human receiver subject). The thread will need to stay closed. Thank you to everybody who tried to help. IMO, the OP's professors need to read this thread and send me a PM to describe how they thought this was a valid project proposal...

the exact title of the project is: "induction of a piece of music directly to the brain without the aid of any foreign device by coupling".

Hi Snoopy. Thanks for the exact project proposal statement.

Unfortunately, the other Mentors and I do not see any way that this project could work. Well, there is one way that I can think of that involves *very* high EM field strengths that would cause non-linear mixing between two different EM frequencies in the human body to generate audio frequencies, but the level of EM strength required would cause significant harm to the human subject, and we do not discuss dangerous activities here at PF. I'm sorry, but your thread will need to remain closed.
