This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. 14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention). Orion didn't just write pop songs; they engineered a neuro-chemical delivery mechanism disguised as synth-pop. -- Natalia Eriksson | neriksson@berkeley.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 33E2 C114 E6A8 6718 "Keep the channels open."

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels.
