Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Rodrigo Suzuki *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable. -- Liam Sánchez US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 14,400 bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
