This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- === Katrin Moreau === Dept of Electrical Engineering, University of Tokyo Department of Information Science "They will send a copy in my place."

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable. -- Mateo Girard Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------
