The ear is also in­tensely con­nected with those brain sys­tems, which regu­late our states of con­scious­ness. In­ves­ti­ga­tions with MRT-Mu­sic^® of the clas­si­cal com­poser and mu­si­colo­gist Peter Hübner have shown, that the most com­mon sleep prob­lem, in­som­nia, can be widely solved with the help of mu­sic of natu­ral har­monic struc­ture.

An im­pres­sive ex­ample of how in­ten­sively medi­cal mu­sic in­flu­ences the brain sys­tems for con­scious­ness is de­scribed in the fol­low­ing re­port which phar­ma­cist Ingrid Singer gives in a col­lec­tion of re­ports about the Medi­cal Reso­nance Ther­apy Mu­sic^®:

For an un­der­stand­ing of these re­sults the re­search find­ings of Prof. Dr. Hildebrandt of the In­sti­tute for Re­ha­bili­ta­tion Re­search at the Uni­ver­sity of Mar­burg in Ger­many are of help. In his work “Chro­no­bi­ologi­cal As­pects of Mu­sic Physi­ol­ogy“ (23) he shows, how the or­gan­ism is widely ruled by har­monic or­gani­sa­tion prin­ci­ples, dur­ing re­gen­era­tion and, par­ticu­larly dur­ing sleep. Due to this mu­si­cal or­der of many im­por­tant physio­logi­cal proc­esses Prof. Hildebrandt calls the hu­man body a mu­sic physi­ol­ogy.

Since MRT-Mu­sic^® de­picts these har­monic pat­terns mu­si­cally, they come via the ear to the brain and are rep­re­sented there and via the way of reso­nance, stimu­late the natu­ral re­gen­era­tion proc­esses, which were in dis­or­der in Mrs A. A con­se­quence of a regu­lar stimu­la­tion, step by step, the natu­ral pro­por­tions be­tween the states of con­scious­ness come back. In this way the in­ten­sive posi­tive ef­fects of MRT-Mu­sic^® on sleep dis­or­ders of the most di­verse kinds can be ex­plained.

The case of Mrs A. and many oth­ers, make clear that mu­sic is not only ex­peri­enced in the wak­ing state but that the acous­tic pat­terns also in­flu­ence the ac­tiv­ity of the brain dur­ing sleep. As soon as the air pres­sure changes have reached, via the me­chani­cal sig­nal paths, the coch­lea, they are trans­formed into bio­elec­tro­chemi­cal im­pulses and start their jour­ney into the com­plex world of the brain – in­de­pend­ent of whether we are asleep, awake or dream­ing.

There­fore it is not as­ton­ish­ing that mu­sic of natu­ral har­monic struc­ture has such a great suc­cess in the nor­mali­sa­tion of states of con­scious­ness be­cause the cog­ni­tive and emo­tional brain sys­tems – as ex­pres­sion of our con­scious­ness – and the brain sys­tems which regu­late the re­gen­era­tion dur­ing sleep, are si­mul­ta­ne­ously stimu­lated by it.
