Teach your self some biophysics before you speak.

Both neural cricuits and neurons can have resonant properties 
for certain frequencies. One example is the paper by Stan Leung on
theta frequency resonance in the hippocampus:

This type of resonance is not to be confused with new-age ideas,
though.
