Audio electric fluctuations

Dear colleagues, 
 
                In the journal entitled Carnegie Technical 
vol. 3  (1939)  pp. 15-19  (quod in manibus non habui),  a 
certain M. Reynolds reported of a person who, after having 
brushed the teeth with a gritty compound, distinctly heard  
without any radio set or similar device, the program of a 
neighboring broadcasting station. The title of the inform 
was (of course!) "A scientific basis of mental telepathy". 
The notice was picked up by an academical medical text en- 
titled ""Encyclopaedia of aberrations, A psychiatric hand- 
book", edited by E. Podolski and  A. Adler (Philosophical 
Library, N. York 1953) where the brain is considered as if 
broadcasting a kind of radio wave, in the form taken by e- 
lectrical XVII-century models of the soul since, more than 
one century ago, a certain Hertz show sympathies between
some coils and a spintariscopy. The matter was commented 
by H. Kuhlenbeck ("The brain and its mind", Karger, 1982, 
p. 87) whereof I took my notes,  as direct source for the 
present comment. 
 
 
              Kuhlenbeck suppossed that the teeth acted like 
a crystal detector, and that the resulting electric potential 
fluctuations of audio-frequencies stimulated the organ of 
Corti. 
 
               I am trying to implement an experimental set- 
ting trying to ascertain if the original report could have 
been fair.  So I would gratefully appreciate any comment di- 
rected to this experimental aim and its practicable varia- 
tions. 
                   Warm regards,
