This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown. 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? -- Rodrigo Okonkwo Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 9600 Telebit bps "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable. Unsubscribe me from this list!
