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? -- Kenji Ivanov | kivanov@titech.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: E073 B17B F66B 600F "Keep the channels open."
