Japanese Scientists Discovered A Way To Levitate Objects Using Sound
The essence of levitation technology is the countervailing of gravity. It is known that an ultrasound standing wave is capable of suspending small particles at its sound pressure nodes and, so far, this method has been used to levitate lightweight particles, small creatures, and water droplets.

The research into what the Pineal Gland is and does is very little so I couldn't tell you what the effects are of a calcified vs. non-calcified gland.
About 400 years ago René Descartes concluded that our soul was seated to our bodies via this organ. This was based on a number of unfounded conclusions about the human brain and the assumption that we have something called a "soul." We don't even know what a "soul" is or if we have one. While this is perfectly reasonable it must be recognized that it is a matter of belief and faith, not science.
We do know the pineal is an "endocrine gland found in vertebrates that is the source of melatonin, a hormone derived from tryptophan that regulates circadian rhythm (sleep cycle)." There are a few studies relating a calcified pineal gland to significantly higher in Alzheimer's disease patients vs. other types of dementia; sexual development, hibernation, metabolism, and seasonal breeding; and very interestingly suggest that the pineal gland may influence the actions of recreational drugs, such as cocaine, and antidepressants... and its hormone melatonin can protect against neurodegeneration.
Again, there's been very little research into it.
I recommend watching this to anyone who feels somewhat enlightened by any of the information here.
