BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION People often substitute an authentic experience by a replica thereof. Those who cannot visit the Louvre Museum, can look at the Mona Lisa on a reproduction. Anybody who has seen the real Mona Lisa in the Louvre can testify that the emotional experience is completely different from just looking at a reproduction. Yet people often substitute reproductions for authentic works of art, when the latter are not readily accessible. The emotional response to viewing a reproduction pales in comparison to the emotional response to viewing an authentic piece of art in a museum. Looking at a photograph of the Grand Canyon is incomparable with experiencing the real thing— visiting the Grand Canyon, which is a breathtaking experience. Yet people unable to travel, often replace the authentic experience of traveling and visiting new places with watching videos on the Travel Chanel or on the Internet Needless to say, watching TV or a video on the Internet is a poor substitute for the real experience of traveling and does not elicit the strong emotions, a person experiences when visiting new places. Because of lack of excitement in their daily lives people seek excitement in the movies. Movies tend to be more immersive experiences and can produce strong emotional responses. Many movie-goers cry while watching movies. A sentimental, emotionally-charged movie is referred to as a tear-jerker due to its ability to elicit a strong emotional response, resulting in tears. However, the emotions experience of watching a movie cannot be compared with the broad range of emotions experienced in real life. Recent advancements in 3D viewing technology and the emergence of Virtual Reality (VR) devices produce more realistic representation of reality they depict. However, even V R devices are incapable of producing emotional responses comparable to the emotions experienced in real life. A viewer may benefit from enhanced emotional responses associated with viewing art reproductions, watching TV, movies, Internet videos, or Virtual Reality. Some people lack certain emotions. For example, sociopathic personalities are incapable of experiencing emotions of empathy and compassion. A number of neurologic, psychiatric and psychological pathologies may affect the ability to experience certain emotions. Patients suffering from advanced stages of Parkinson and Alzheimer's diseases often exhibit subdued emotional response. Patients affected by paranoid schizophrenia, brain injury, or dementia sometimes experience Capgras delusion. They see a familiar face of a spouse or another family member but do not experience emotional response they expect to experience when seeing a face of a close family member, which leads them to believe that they live with an imposter that only “looks like” their family member; they complaint about a doppelganger living with them. It may be beneficial to artificially enhance the emotional response of a patient, bringing it to the normal level expected of a healthy person. It is well known that memory retention is affected by the emotional state of the person. Emotionally-charged experiences are etched in the memory, whereas experiences not associated with high emotions are easily forgotten. Artificially raising emotional levels during study may significantly increase the retention of the information and ease its subsequent recall. It has been observed in neuroscience that various emotions correlate with different frequency and location of the brainwaves. Accordingly, inducing in a subject the brainwaves of particular frequency in a particular location may induce and/or enhance the desired emotional response. Emotions are viewed as discrete and dimensional. The discrete framework classifies emotional states as physiological and behavioral manifestations of discrete emotions such as anger, happiness, etc. The dimensional perspective organizes emotional states by two factors, valence (positive/negative) and arousal (calm/exciting). Emotions are thought to be associated with different parts of the brain: Frontal Lobe (movement of the body; personality; concentration, planning, problem solving; meaning of words; emotional reactions; speech; smell); Parietal Lobe (touch and pressure; taste; body awareness); Temporal Lobe (hearing; recognizing faces; emotion; long-term memory); Occipital Lobe (sight); Cerebellum (Latin for little brain, fine motor (muscle) control; balance and coordination (avoid objects and keep from falling)); Limbic Lobe (controls emotions like happiness, sadness, and love).

Time in a biological matter Almost everything in biology is subject to change over time. These changes occur on many different time scales, which vary greatly. For example, there are evolutionary changes that affect entire populations overtime rather than a single organism. Evolutionary changes are often slower than a human time scale that spans many years (usually, a human lifetime). Faster variations of the timing and duration of biological activity in living organisms occur, for example, in many essential biological processes in everyday life: in humans and animals, these variations occur, for example, in eating, sleeping, mating, hibernating, migration, cellular regeneration, etc. Other fast changes may include the transmission of a neural signal, for example, through a synapse, such as the Calyx of Held, a particularly large synapse in the auditory central nervous system of mammals that can reach transmission frequencies of up to 50 Hz. With recruitment modulation, the effective frequencies can be higher. A single nerve impulse can reach a speed as high as one hundred meters (0.06 mile) per second (Kraus, David. Concepts in Modern Biology. New York: Globe Book Company, 1969: 170.). Myelination of axons can increase the speed of transmission by segmenting the membrane depolarization process. Many of these changes over time are repetitive or rhythmic and are described as some frequency or oscillation. The field of chronobiology, examines such periodic (cyclic) phenomena in living organisms and their adaptation, for example, to solar and lunar-related rhythms (DeCoursey, et al. (2003).) These cycles are also known as biological rhythms. The related terms “chronomics” and “chronome” have been used in some cases to describe either the molecular mechanisms involved in chronobiological phenomena or the more quantitative aspects of chronobiology, particularly where comparison of cycles between organisms is required. Chronobiological studies include, but are not limited to, comparative anatomy, physiology, genetics, molecular biology and behavior of organisms within biological rhythms’ mechanics (DeCoursey etal. (2003).). Other aspects include epigenetics, development reproduction, ecology, and evolution. The most important rhythms in chronobiology are the circadian rhythms, roughly 24-hour cycles shown by physiological processes in all organisms. They are regulated by circadian clocks. The circadian rhythms can be further broken down into routine cycles during the 24-hour day
