Sounds
Robert Hooke, an English scientist (1635-1703), recorded in a book that listening to internal sounds was a way of knowing whether the organism was functioning as expected. He was a specialist in acoustics and believed that the concepts of harmony and dissonance used in music would also apply to medicine and several other areas. For him, the fact that a physiological process was audible meant that something could be wrong, like an instrument out of time that stands out from the others in a concert. BioSCIENCE, understanding that certain rare or less frequent sounds may be unknown to its readers, offers authors the opportunity to submit sounds, with brief texts of what they represent, to facilitate clinical training in health care. Put on sounds! They are welcome!
