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). Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- Mei MacDonald Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of The Pipeline Internet Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From msouza@demon.co.uk Fri Nov 24 11:32:30 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!demon!msouza From: msouza@demon.co.uk (Morag Souza) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1995Nov24.113230.8813@demon.co.uk> Date: Fri, 24 Nov 1995 11:32:30 GMT References: <1995Nov23.030530.2552@pipeline.com> Organization: Demon Internet Services UK NNTP-Posting-Host: demon.co.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1995Nov23.030530.2552@pipeline.com>, mmacdonald@pipeline.com (Mei MacDonald) writes: > Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz? > This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable. -- Morag Souza -- Demon Internet Services UK "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone.
