Rockin’ Patent – Vera M Brandes’ “Systems And Methods For Music Therapy”

July 19, 2024

Rockin’ Patent: US Patent No. 8,388,512
Filed: 12 March 2009
In the name of: Vera M Brandes
Title: Systems And Methods For Music Therapy
What’s claimed: “A method for therapeutically using music to treat a disorder comprising: evaluating an individual’s natural ultradian and circadian chronobiological rhythms to determine a first time representing a peak of chrono-biological activity and a second time representing a natural low of chrono-biological activity; selecting an audio program for playing to the individual including an activating composition and a de-activating composition; using an audio device to play the activating composition to the individual before the first time and to play the de-activating composition to the individual before the second time; repeating the step of using an audio device to play the activating composition and playing the de-activating composition; and wherein the audio program comprises: musical, vocal, invented language elements mimicking pre-verbal communication; and compositional elements configured to constructively interact with an individual’s natural ultradian and circadian chronobiological rhythms in such a way as to strengthen the ultradian and circadian chronobiological rhythms.”
Why this patent rocks: This appears to be one patent relating to the process used by Sanoson, a company that provides “Music-Focused Auditory Therapy.” The patent also refers to a listening device, which WIPO Magazine explains “…has a memory function that…[allows]…doctors to check whether patients are taking their musical medicine as prescribed.” According to co-founder Vera Bandes, the device “…has other qualities not available in commercial music players, with a broader frequency range and different sound quality.” For more information, see here.
