Let's use science to determine what is happening.This can be measured. Use a blind study to evaluate the impact.
aren't blind people more susceptible to auditory stimulus? wouldn't that skew the numbers?
/s
Include that as a variable. It's done all the time.
but how could they make sure since it's a blind study? maybe they're only pretending to be blind.
The article states it is sound frequencies “not normally measured”. It doesn’t say “can’t be”, so the first step is an objective measurement
Of course it goes further to point out that some things can only be heard/felt by a tiny percentage of people - the hard part is setting the allowed threshold and not perhaps that’s where your blind study idea would be helpful
