Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. Turn off your subwoofers and listen on a cheap transistor radio. The emotional pull changes completely. -- Camila Brennan Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre. ------------------------------------------------------------ From rmacdonald@delphi.com Wed Mar 08 04:27:09 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!delphi!rmacdonald From: rmacdonald@delphi.com (Renata MacDonald) Newsgroups: alt.conspiracy Subject: Re: Question: 14.2 Hz ELF brainwave entrainment & CIA acoustic behavioral testing Message-ID: <1995Mar08.042709.2327@delphi.com> Date: Wed, 08 Mar 1995 04:27:09 GMT References: <1995Mar06.133309.4445@titech.ac.jp> Organization: Delphi Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: delphi.com X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 10 In article <1995Mar06.133309.4445@titech.ac.jp>, cbrennan@titech.ac.jp (Camila Brennan) writes: > 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 explains why Listening Night works.
