Is what mentioned in this paper real?

According to this paper, skull's resonance frequencies can be used to make people hear things: https://www.tinnitusjournal.com/art...umans-applications-for-tinnitus-treatment.pdf

Is this real? Does this work with both mechanical waves and radio waves?

I have a thick Neanderthal skull, so it is like genetic tinfoil.

For sure it’s real. Can you hear them, the voices saying “take this nonsense somewhere else. Just go away…”

Well, there are headphones that work through bone conductivity. But that's a different kettle of fish

That's not exactly what it says though?

Also maybe my sarcasm detector is not hitting when it should so I don't understand the diminutive comments here. What the paper is about is an established principle?

I think it's a mix of the username and the fact that he/she is only posting things that point to the concept of subliminal messaging.

Don't want to jump to conclusions or be judgemental, but this does seem to indicate a person who would benefit tremendously from some psychiatric treatment.

It seems the idea is plausible.

The gist of the paper is here (mentioning the fact that the basis for ultrasound 'hearing' was deduced in the 1940s):

"Ultrasonic hearing was possible in humans but only by bone conduction."

So yes, a tinnitus treatment that relies on ultrasound will involve bone conduction. The high energy ultrasound source would be placed in very close proximity to the user's skull. The author of this paper suggests the mechanism directly involves resonance (vibration) of the brain itself, with feedback to organs of the ear.

It has zero to do with the audio we care about here -- which is delivered to our auditory canals by loudspeaker or earphone -- or the claims of cheerleaders for 'hi rez' sample rates.

There's also a lot of technically dubious conspiratorial waffle about these days about 'high energy' weapons being aimed at diplomats. Not to mention the wild claims of 5G conspiracists et al. Either way, zero to do with consumer audio.

Did you do a Google Scholar search?

Google Scholar

It appears that most of the research about this was done by the author. I haven't read most of the articles, but a quick thought is that if there was much to it, it would have been studied a lot more.

 

[egellings]

I think a dead dried out skull would resonate, but a live one is full of damping material which would do a pretty good job of eliminating any resonance effects that would be audible. Just my guess.

Kettle? I thought it was called "shoal" of fish!
The story, (as already replied to as being "plausible" by @NTK) is NOT fishy!

Actually, it's the opposite. The paper contends that those resonances can be used for masking.

There is no basis for hearing above 20kHz or thereabouts. Note that the paper very carefully uses the word "detection". It also proposes some mechanisms but in very tangential fashion, and then references work by a Japanese camp of researchers that are associated with Oohashi, and a previous paper by the author. Another paper referenced was the 1951 Nature "article", which is just a few paragraphs long. This is not rigorous stuff.

Here's the conclusion from the 2 page Japanese paper, attached below,

Really?

Take a renowned psychoacoustician like Moore. He states very clearly in his book that the upper range of human hearing is mostly found in very young children, because the entirety of their frequency detection is shifted upwards. They hear less bass than adults, in other words.

What do you mean? Is this Lenhardt's suggestion or yours?

The contents of the paper referred to by the OP are not plausible. The two papers you cited are tangentially related at most.

yes. at least there r dental implants which serve as radios "per Alex Jones".
to believe or not in their existence - ur call. I just keep seeing those "frozen faces of famous sportsmen/TV commenters" on utub and wonder if their transmission paused.
