Absolutely! My grandson is a willing participant, too. I'd love to
connect a bunch of electrodes to various nerve centers on my body to
see if my neuro-responses would try to control the sound - modulate,
filter, attenuate, etc. I'd have to use myself as the subject,
though, as I'm afraid most others would simply make the sound stop!
That and scream "get it off me, get it off me!" while flailing their
arms and legs...
