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? -- Rodrigo Larsson | rlarsson@cmu.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 898D 92C3 F473 F4A0 "Keep the channels open."
