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? -- Ji-woo Watanabe Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
