Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. 14.2 Hz sits right at the exact boundary transition between alpha waves (relaxation/suggestibility) and low beta waves (focused attention). Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Takeshi Nilsson "Hardware is temporary.
