Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Bill Okonkwo SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 28,800 bps "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
