Birth-Frequency Trials

A structured way to test your natal tone (e.g., your 180.3 Hz) as a performance enhancer.

Overview

Hypothesis-driven

Claim: a person’s birth-derived tone may improve clarity or accuracy in dowsing tasks. Approach: compare performance with your tone vs a control (e.g., 8 Hz alpha) vs silence using blind methods and identical tasks.

Deriving Your Tone

Simple approach
  • Use your previously selected tone (e.g., 180.3 Hz) as the “Birth” condition.
  • Create two matched loudness files: Birth (180.3 Hz) and Control (e.g., 8.0 Hz or 10.0 Hz).
Optional harmonics
  • Test ×2 and ÷2 (e.g., 90.15 Hz, 360.6 Hz) in separate sessions.
  • Keep one variable per session to avoid confounds.

Equipment & Routing

Audio path
  • Speakers for ambient tone at low level, 1–2 m away.
  • Match loudness across Birth/Control (use the same volume knob position).
Dowsing setup
  • Stable surface; elbows supported; pendulum centered.
  • Charts or 4-cup task for clear scoring.

Trial Protocols

Run sheets
Protocol A — 4-Cup, 20 trials
  1. Helper hides target; random order; operator blinded.
  2. Birth tone 5 min pre-exposure + during trials at low level.
  3. Record choice & confidence; reveal; log.
Protocol B — Map, 24 trials
  1. 6-option map per trial (one true target).
  2. Run 12 trials Birth day, 12 trials Control day (order counterbalanced across weeks).

Designs: A/B/ABX

  • A/B: Day 1 Birth, Day 2 Control (next week reverse the order).
  • ABX: A = silence, B = Birth; X is either A or B unknown to operator; compare performance.
  • Sham: “Tone on” block with volume at zero (operator unaware) to test expectancy.

Quick Analysis

What to compute
  • Hit-rate (% correct) per condition
  • Mean response time per condition
  • Confidence vs correctness correlation
Hit-Rate Quick Check
Rate: 66.7%
Z: 1.63 · p≈ 0.102

Normal approx vs 50/50; for exact use binomial test.

Aim for ≥20–30 trials per condition. Repeat across days for stability. If results cluster above chance in Birth and not in Control, you’ve got something to explore further.

FAQ

What if Birth and Control both look better than silence? Then the benefit may be “any steady tone.” Add a different control (e.g., pink noise) and re-test.

How loud? Quiet. If it’s “noticeable,” it’s likely too loud—keep it background.

Can I mix Birth with 7.83 Hz? Not in the same block. One variable per block; compare on different days.
