1. A method of therapy on a human subject, the method including analysing audio tracks for playback to the human subject according to a preselected desired arousal state or brain activity of the human subject, the method comprising the steps of:
(i) accessing a set of stored individual audio tracks operable for selection for playback;
(ii) predicting a neuro-physiological response to the individual audio tracks according to a neuro-physiological model of the functioning and response of the human lower cortical, limbic and subcortical regions in the brain to sounds, wherein the response includes rhythm response and movement response;
(iii) receiving the selected desired arousal state or brain activity of the human subject, defined by measured electroencephalogram (EEG) or other biometric data;
(iv) selecting audio tracks according to the predicted neuro-physiological response to the individual music tracks, and according to the selected desired arousal state or brain activity of the human subject, and
(v) playing the selected audio tracks to the human subject.
