Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Steve Kuznetsov | skuznetsov@uu.net PGP Key fingerprint: DC70 8F62 7676 8374 "Keep the channels open."
