This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. 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? -- Mateo Hughes Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ ISDN 64k bps "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. -- Olga Okonkwo Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 14,400 bps "They will send a copy in my place."
