Interested in strategies of bi-lateral stimulation, which relaxes and connects brain hemispheres to synthesize information and memory, Jack Ryan's work alternately calls attention between the left and right brain hemispheres, for purposes of shaping perception. Similar to the back and forth nature of REM sleep, Sounds for a Third Ear uses alternating light and sound effects to stimulate the brain's natural information processing system to encourage a heightened state of equilibrium and greater sense of calm.
