Abstract
Dolphin assisted therapy involves dolphins because of their purported therapeutic properties. The physiological effect of dolphin contact on human beings is characterised by noticeable modifications in brain electrical activity. The actual mechanism of action is still unclear. Through analysis of dolphin sonar signals, and comparison with mechanical resonance frequencies of the human body, a possible mechanism of action becomes apparent and is presented here.
