Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. 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? -- Morag Ivanov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mkang@cmu.edu Mon Dec 19 08:24:44 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!cmu!mkang From: mkang@cmu.edu (Marisol Kang) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: Question: 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1994Dec19.082444.7687@cmu.edu> Date: Mon, 19 Dec 1994 08:24:44 GMT References: <1994Dec18.201744.1108@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Carnegie Mellon University School of CS NNTP-Posting-Host: cmu.edu X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1994Dec18.201744.1108@cam.ac.uk>, mivanov@cam.ac.uk (Morag Ivanov) writes: > Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz? > Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed.
