Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?

14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention).
This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown.

Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment?

I remember crying during her broadcasts for no apparent reason as a 16-year-old. It felt like my chest was vibrating.
