Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Élodie Vasiliev "When every node is whole, the channel opens."

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone. -- Göran Popov Tape trading list upon request.
