"The Power of Inaudible Sound" Transforming Body and Mind: The Science and Challenge of the Hypersonic Effect

(Excerpt from Special Feature: Hypersonic Effect, Science Journal Vol. 83 No. 3, 2013)

The Hypersonic Effect phenomenon, where ultrasonic waves above 50 kHz, imperceptible to the human ear, exert remarkable effects on the brain and body, was discovered by musician/physicist Tsutomu Ohashi and validated through studies showing α-wave enhancement, immune-boosting effects, and stress hormone reduction.

G-Star Sounds LLC is pioneering its application through innovative instrument development for the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, themed "Designing Future Society for Our Lives".

The Mechanism of "Inaudible Sound"

The Hypersonic Effect’s core lies in direct brain activation via skin and bone conduction. Ultrasonic waves above 40 kHz are detected not by the ears but through the body’s surface, stimulating the "core brain" (brainstem, thalamus, and hypothalamus)-the hub of life-sustaining functions.

This activation leads to:

  • Relaxation: Parasympathetic dominance reduces stress hormones like cortisol.

  • Immunity Boost: Natural killer cell activity increases, enhancing viral defense.

  • Focus Enhancement: Sustained α-waves and improved prefrontal cortex blood flow.

Nature’s Hidden Sound Therapy

Natural environments rich in ultrasonic frequencies-such as waterfalls (80 kHz+), Balinese gamelan, Japanese shakuhachi, and biwa lutes-demonstrate this effect. These sounds, now scarce in urban life, are gaining attention for their restorative potential.

G-Star Sounds’ Innovation

Under the vision "Bringing Hypersonic Sound to Daily Life", G-Star Sounds is developing instruments that retain traditional forms (e.g., pianos, guitars) while emitting ultrasonic waves above 50 kHz. A groundbreaking performance using these instruments is scheduled for June 26, 2025, 15:30 at the Osaka-Kansai Expo’s TEAMEXPO Pavilion.

G-Star Sounds  is also actively seeking partners interested in:

  • Hypersonic conversion of existing music

  • Manufacturing hypersonic instruments

  • Developing hypersonic audio devices

Future Applications

  • Healthcare: Dementia prevention and pre-surgery anxiety reduction.

  • Education: Tools for sustained concentration in classrooms.

In the field of music, G-Star Sounds aims to collaborate with numerous partners to create living environments surrounded by hypersonic sound, striving to revolutionize the music industry.

"Music is no longer just for the ears"-the fusion of skin sensation and neuroscience is ushering in a new era of art and well-being.
