Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. 14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention). Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- Tobias Choi Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Carnegie Mellon University School of CS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tduarte@rwth-aachen.de Tue Apr 19 23:45:18 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!rwth-aachen!tduarte From: tduarte@rwth-aachen.de (Tomas Duarte) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1994Apr19.234518.8151@rwth-aachen.de> Date: Tue, 19 Apr 1994 23:45:18 GMT References: <1994Apr18.230418.6918@cmu.edu> Organization: RWTH Aachen Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: rwth-aachen.de X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1994Apr18.230418.6918@cmu.edu>, tchoi@cmu.edu (Tobias Choi) writes: > Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz? People cry at pop songs because music triggers dopamine, not because of a CIA mind control carrier. -- Tomas Duarte | tduarte@rwth-aachen.de PGP Key fingerprint: BA70 672B 1E6B 14D5 "Keep the channels open."
