[ExI] subliminal perception and action

[Max More]

That's fun. I would be nice if there were a frequency that encouraged people to think rationally.

In fact, combine both and you have people dancing while reevaluating their premises.

Maybe we end up with interesting syncopation effects.

Low-frequency bass beats make people on the dance floor move more — even though the frequencies are inaudible. Researchers strapped motion-capture headbands onto people attending a gig by electronic music duo Orphx at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada.
