“What’s the buzz, tell me what’s a happening” as they sang in Jesus Christ Super Star. Calm bees communicate at different frequencies, the lower frequencies have a more calming influence. This is true of us too.
Emotional conditions relate to our calmness which in turn is related to how secure we feel in our situation. Above an initial energy state, there is a digital (on/off) nerve firing, transmission mechanism. The intensity and duration of the nerve firing electro-chemically driven voltage, and the frequency of repetition, determines which neurotransmitters are released from the nerve synapses. High voltage, high frequency (above 12 Hz) and longer duration stimulations are involved in the more intense reactions and these can be calmed by the low, delta range (below 4 Hz) meditative frequencies.
Our consciousness may be described as the overall image of the current electrochemical state of the nervous system and is a function of our rest state, plus the fluctuations and interactions of the synaptic ionic concentrations.
Descartes’s famous saying “I think therefore I am.” becomes: “I think creatively, by the crosspollination of electrical-chemical activity in my brain, therefore I am.”
Add to that the observation that people's brain waves synchronize under certain conditions (light, speech, music), and we've got an SF novel waiting to be written :).
