Subject: Re: [AN1x-list] Aural Exciter

From: Reggie <reggie@...>

Hello, No it's not unique to Yamaha, Aphex actually made the original I
think you will find. I can't tell you exactly how it works, but from
what I understand it 'adds' some frequencies that the brain is
particularly drawn to and finds it hard to ignore (apparently babies
crying and women screaming also produce this frequency!), not sure what
else it does.
