Acoustic-physics scientist, professor John Stuart Reid, is a man on a mission to educate and inspire the world in the field of cymatics, the study of visible sound. His CymaScope invention has changed our perception of sound forever: seeing sound allows us to understand this omnipresent aspect of our world and universe fuller and deeper. His cymatics research is helping to elevate this important new field in the scientific arena, and he speaks at scientific conferences in Europe and USA. In the medical field his study of the effects of music on human blood, using the CymaScope instrument to differentiate between the sounds emitted by cancer cells and healthy cells was published in the Water Journal, and has far reaching health implications. In 2021 he was invited to write a chapter on Sound Therapy and Music Medicine for a new medical text book, which was published in 2022, in English, Russian and Slovak and is available from:https://www.acuclinic.eu/ecompendium/ Also in 2022 he hosted successful courses with The Shift Network, teaching Cymatics, Sonic Science and Music Medicine and in 2025 he hosted a very successful advanced course with the Shift Network, based on Frequency Medicine and Cymatic Science. His study on how dolphins see with sound and communicate sono-pictorially, published in the Journal of Marine Science, carries the potential for eventual interspecies communication, a future in which we will be able to hold a conversation with a dolphin. His recent study on the effects of music on the longevity of red blood cells is due for publication in early 2026.
