Ship traffic noise has been described as harmful to the
communication of marine mammals.
In humans binaural bets at 40 Hz improve cognition 10-
20%
[link], so they could research a frequency that actually
benefits cetaceans and then engineer marine engines to
make
those sounds instead.
Smarter whales!
Also, cars have engine hum(noise). Perhaps if they tune
engines to make 40Hz sound road attention would
improve 10-20% resulting in fewer accidents. Volvo has
tried a lot of safety things, perhaps this is for them. They
could measure it.

[beany], that citation is from a journal called "Psychology
Research", which means it's bollocks. |

If they had any real data, it'd've been published in a
neuroscience journal. |

That, [Ian], is interesting. |
|
| |
It also would make it very difficult to implement in a car -
you would have to be wearing earphones or earbuds. |

Maybe the "mixing" still happens mechanically but within some anatomical structure, e.g. Jawbone. |
|
| |
The "beat" would be produced by the overlapping negative spaces, like visual interference patterns but bi-auditory rather than binocular. |

Which somehow reminds me of something completely different but bugs me and if I don't get it out this second it will be gone for good so...
...I'm gonna stick it here 'cause... well just because. |

Nobody seems to have figured out exactly how or why a bell syphon works yet. I read all of the theories and they don't have it right yet. |
|

It's the 'water hammer' effect, where once something starts moving it doesn't want to stop moving. First law pure and simple. |
|

Sorry 'bout that.
Ok, as you were. |

I've a vague recollection of reading where, in Vietnam, they tried out a sleeping aid, consisting of a 4hz difference between l/r signals in a headphone. |
|
| |
Does the 60 hz / 50 hz disparity account for the IQ
difference between the States and everywhere else? |

You'd say anything if someone gave you a pound for a cup of tea. Or preferably, a fiver for four cans of Special Brew ... |

Five billion years and it still doesn't know the words ? That's just sad .... |
|

The Earth is actually five billion and eleven years old. I
know, because I've got a book saying it's five billion years
old, and it was published in 2007. |

These would no doubt be the same people who sincerely believe that two wallabies* hopped all the way from Australia to the Middle East to get on a big wooden boat along with a large number of aggressive carnivores, including lions, tigers and polar bears. |

*The "penguins" analogy has been debunked, as penguins could quite easily swim the trip without ever needing to get their feet dry, IT'S ALL THE SAME BLOODY OCEAN YOU STUPID HOMINIDS, WHAT'S SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND ? YOUR PLANET HAS ONE OCEAN ... JUST ONE ... AAARGH ... |
