We Only Wanted to Cure Depression

This led the way to learning a lot about mind-control.

The subject for my graduate thesis, although in my field of study, was chosen through a series of “constructed accidents”. At the time I was deeply immersed in the study of how sound frequency effects the human psyche. This led to asking, “Can sound influence mood”? This in turn eventually led to the hypothesis, “Sound frequency can be weaponized to alter the emotions of individuals without their knowledge.” On my own I would never have thought to study such a thing but I was led to this through a series of events that were beyond my control. Quite literally.

You can tell that this is a fictional piece because this information would surely be highly classified due to National Security. Besides, no one involved in this kind of work would risk their lives by exposing it. If a scientist wanted to become a whistle-blower because he felt that his work was being used in way that went against his moral code, he may just write a fantastic work of fiction. He would then enjoy certain protections under law. Or, maybe he could write a blog post under a pseudonym.

I have always been fascinated by how music seems to lift the mood. In my personal experience, my emotions have many times been transformed from blue-to-happy through listening to certain songs. Music had always been a powerful tool, not only for altering mood but also for the solicitation of certain behaviors. This has been studied extensively. I was able to piggy back off of many great scientific discoveries that came long before I even entered university.

For example, Barrett and Steiner et al. (1962) showed that violent behavior could be triggered in primates by specific sound frequencies. These frequencies fell in the ultra low range, below 20 Hz, and are referred to as infrasonic. Gordon, Glick and Ransen et al. (1972) studied the effects of high frequency sound, above 20,000 Hz, and found that it not only improved mood but deepened sleep in humans. Both of these ranges studied are outside the human audio spectrum so they are perfect for using in double blind studies. For those of…
