This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. 14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention). Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- === Élodie Laurent === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
