| EARS: | People with normal audition are likely to experience most levels of integration in a 24 hour period, but the lower speeds occur during sleep as states of unconsciousness. | ||||
| AUDITION | People with audio-processing deficits cannot change states of consciousness flexibly and cannot achieve the higher speeds of integration. | ||||

The chart can be read from several different perspectives:
- The central graph represents the progressively faster levels of integration of the cerebral hemispheres from extremely low in schizophrenia and autism to extremely high in persons who are strongly left-cerebral-dominant and have ready, but controlled, access to the right cerebral hemisphere.
- The range of states of consciousness available to a person could be ascertained through audiological examination, but to the present time only a small part of the spectrum has been calibrated and published, as noted in the column “In Hertz.”
- The graph also represents the range of states of consciousness experienced by persons with normal stapedius function as that muscle is semi-consciously or unconsciously controlled throughout the 24 hours of the day.
- During the states of consciousness sought by many people under the terms “prayer” and “meditation” a person with left-dominance deliberately relaxes the stapedius muscle but usually not to the point of falling asleep and with some measure—perhaps a very high level—of left-brain awareness.
- The graph may be read from the Bipolar range of behaviours downward as stages in maturation: the progressive levels of behavioural control taught to children in socialization processes that gives the child increasing (but mainly unconscious) control over the stapedius muscle.
- The concept of left-cerebral-hemisphere dominance entails both losses of dominance and the possibility for enlarging and strengthening that dominance, but dominance depends not only on the content of learning that enters the ear and the eye, as has been generally believed, but also on the health or fitness of the stapedius muscle of the middle ear.
- The chart can be read approximately from a historical point of view, as the trend in the social evolution of homosapiens sapiens appears to be towards expectations of increasing language complexity, rationality, self-control, and rationalization in belief systems.
