MUSIC ATLAS · MEASUREMENT ARCHITECTURE
Non-invasive measurement before mRNA sequencing
Validating the research approach for stakeholders before a substantial investment in mRNA sequencing.
Our hypothesis: does electronic music modulate OXTR via Fibonacci numbers? Our initial non-invasive study, N = 33, brings physiology, audience experience and musical structure together to validate the research approach and establish the case for mRNA sequencing investment.
These graphics are visual mockups of a real Universal Informatics Music Atlas Python script: custom software Ben Korbel is developing with Gemini to measure and unify these metrics together as one. Implementation is in progress.
Brain & autonomic response
EEG from Muse S Athena, galvanic skin response (GSR / EDA), heart-rate variability, HRV power spectral density (PSD) and baroreflex sensitivity. Brain-state analysis brings amplitude and phase–amplitude coupling onto the shared timeline.
Optical signals & inference
A 400-channel laboratory hyperspectral analysis and smartphone-grade RGB analysis reconstructed into 31 spectral bands. Inferred oxytocin is an exploratory model output created by Immersion Neuroscience via research with DARPA. Explore Immersion Neuroscience ↗ and SIX ↗.
Audience & musical structure
Continuous audience feedback and a participant peak-moment trigger, aligned with real-time song analysis: position within a 64-bar sequence, melodic anticipation and resolution, chords, arpeggios, and Fibonacci / Pisano landmarks.
01 · Unified measurement timeline
The landscape overview brings the streams together, from EEG at the top to Fibonacci coding at the bottom.
02 · Brain state, amplitude & coupling
Brain state, amplitude and coupling alongside audience peaks, cardiovascular features and spectral imaging.
03 · A peak moment across the streams
The vertical view begins with EEG and aligns the measurement streams around an audience-reported peak moment.
mRNA sequencing represents an investment of A$600–A$1,000 per participant. The initial non-invasive phase establishes the case for that investment for stakeholders. Sequencing will compare OXTR mRNA expression in samples collected before and after the intervention or song.

Saccadic · HexagonalBilateral
Research comparison · hypothesis under investigation
Focus:
Are hexagonal animations more natural, human, and impactful for EMDR visual stimulation than traditional horizontal tracking green lights? We use the honeycomb conjecture as inspiration, where hexagonal packing is nature's most efficient division of space. Furthermore, many endogenous neurotransmitters, hormones, and nucleic bases natively utilise hexagonal configurations within their molecular architecture.
Hypothesis:
We hypothesise that a hexagonally structured saccadic tracking pattern imposes a distinct oculomotor and visual psychophysics load compared to standard linear tracking. We propose that the complex coordination required to navigate this geometric pattern optimises retinal and visual pathway signalling, thereby driving a downstream biological response that upregulates OXTR gene transcription (measured via mRNA sequencing) and enhances emotional regulation.

UNIVERSALINFORMATICS
Bioinformatics platform for mental health
Investigating potential relationships between the Fibonacci sequence and OXTR gene expression.
Does modular compression reveal statistically significant patterns, or merely mathematical elegance?
Do the nested sequences within Fibonacci Pisano periods have biological and molecular implications?
Initial focus · Computer vision for genomics
Inspired by research into how geometric architectures and Fibonacci-ordered dynamics can protect quantum information, we are investigating whether geometry derived from Fibonacci Pisano periods can improve the computational efficiency of hyperspectral image analysis for genomics.
If independent studies verify biological significance in the OXTR–Fibonacci relationship, we plan to extend the investigation to a wider set of candidate genes and molecular systems.
