Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. 14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention). Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- Sven Oliveira Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From krobertson@purdue.edu Thu Jul 11 11:40:39 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!purdue!krobertson From: krobertson@purdue.edu (Kirsty Robertson) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: Question: 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1996Jul11.114039.3157@purdue.edu> Date: Thu, 11 Jul 1996 11:40:39 GMT References: <1996Jul09.194439.2786@berkeley.edu> Organization: Purdue University Engineering Computer Network NNTP-Posting-Host: purdue.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1996Jul09.194439.2786@berkeley.edu>, soliveira@berkeley.edu (Sven Oliveira) writes: > Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?
