Key Terms and Concepts 49“6x9” b2861 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and MatterIce crystals and snowflakes are not the only structures of water. Since
the invention of the CymaScope by J. S. Reid of UK in 2002 [493]
(see Section 4.12), elaborate and intricate dissipative structures of water
have been revealed (Figure 2.13(c)). These socalled CymaGlyphs [493,
498] are the images of the soundinduced resonant waves of water photo
graphed from the direction normal to the water surface [493]. CymaScope
visualizes sounds using water as the molecular sensor. The sensitivity of
water wave patterns (also called standing waves, CymaGlyphs,
“aquawaves”, or “aquaresonances” [494]) to sounds is illustrated by the
pronounced difference seen between the A0 and A0#induced CymaGlyphs
despite the fact that frequency difference between these two notes is
29.14-27.50 = 1.64 Hz (cycles per second). Similarly, the striking differ
ence between D1# and E1induced CymaGlyphs is caused by the
frequency difference of only 2.31 Hz, etc.
CymaScope can also visualize, with exquisite sensitivity, the sound
encoding the human brain electroencephalogram (EEG) as shown in
