This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. 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? -- Tyler Santos | tsantos@stanford.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 1A85 9FBE EFE7 6368 "Keep the channels open."
