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? -- Katrin Duarte Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From ldubois@unam.mx Tue Sep 10 07:13:29 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!unam!ldubois From: ldubois@unam.mx (Lucia Dubois) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: Observation: 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1996Sep10.071329.4730@unam.mx> Date: Tue, 10 Sep 1996 07:13:29 GMT References: <1996Sep09.065729.9076@cmu.edu> Organization: Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) NNTP-Posting-Host: unam.mx X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1996Sep09.065729.9076@cmu.edu>, kduarte@cmu.edu (Katrin Duarte) writes: > Let's look at the biophysics of 14.2 Hz from a medical and psychoacoustic perspective. > This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. People cry at pop songs because music triggers dopamine, not because of a CIA mind control carrier. -- === Lucia Dubois === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
