Triune

In the 1960s, Paul MacLean, an American physician and neuroscientist, established the triune brain hypothesis in his study of emotional interactions
between the various parts of the brain. In his theory, now abandoned, he concluded that the reptilian complex, the limbic system and the neocortex made up a conscious set of three brains inside our skull. Independent, but at the same time interconnected, these systems would have been successively added to each other in the course of evolution.

Following the lines drawn by McLean, the electronic instrument Triune tries to recreate in sound the different facets and singularities of our three brain
complexes, using three different instruments embedded in one.

The first of them, which refers to the neocortex, is a pulse generator calibrated to produce neuronal oscillation patterns known as alpha, beta or gamma waves. The second circuit, associated with the limbic system, makes use of the effect known as combinational tones. Finally, the third, associated with the R-complex, consists of an analog generator of granular white noise for exploring possible triggers and stimuli for Autonomous Sensory Meridian
Response (ASMR).
