Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. 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? -- Kirsty Martínez SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 28,800 bps "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.

This explains why Listening Night works. When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable. -- Valeria Ito Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of European Laboratory for Particle Physics, Geneva. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tbrennan@ox.ac.uk Sat Oct 28 14:12:12 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!ox!tbrennan From: tbrennan@ox.ac.uk (Takeshi Brennan) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1995Oct28.141212.5590@ox.ac.uk> Date: Sat, 28 Oct 1995 14:12:12 GMT References: <1995Oct24.211712.1044@u-tokyo.ac.jp> <1995Oct26.192512.3351@cern.ch> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct26.192512.3351@cern.ch>, vito@cern.ch (Valeria Ito) writes: > This explains why Listening Night works.
