Entraining

I planned this post for a long time, i even wrote it once as a paragraph in a different post that i deleted due to apparent synchronization with unrelated current events. But i will not shy off again just because of weird coincidences. And those passed from immediate and permanent public's attention for EVER like they always do due to the mere number of incoming unverifiable news.

Entraining is the synchronization of primarily one's breath with one's thought like in yoga or with outside body events like rhythmic sound although it can be applied to any rhythmic physiological activity like brain waves. It can occur in meditation, walking, dancing, work or any human activity that involve some repetition. I don't think the capability to be entrained is inherited but aquired sometime early in life, consciously or not. Maybe some are experimenting with primates, and could tell as more, as it was dr Mauser at Harvard, who was experimenting with primate body language before he was kicked out of the university probably for ethical and legal reasons.

When  using sound it can be done remotely when a person is unaware or ignoring the sound, especially during more elaborate activities that require concentration.

It can be done through music, TV, due to real time processing capabilities of today's portable supercomputers, and other means more costly like mowers motors, cars etc.

It can lead to hyperventilation and its toxic effects on the brain, if the breath is accelerated, or the opposite, lowering the oxygen level until obtaining different effects, including trance, suggestibility, arrhythmia etc.

I would not be totally surprised if in the past there were songs, poems or even books especially designed in laboratories first to entrain, to bring the subject in a certain state of suggestibility, and then to burn a message in their brain like in a sort of "punch line". But these are things of the past, today it can be done in real time even with feed-back provided by an array of passive sensors.

But lately it came to my attention the fact that the brain waves of two people that have lived a while together or in proximity could be partially entrained... But this is a subject i'm still thinking on...

In my own opinion an through personal experiences, i think entraining, in the hands of some people can become a tool of manipulation.

One car's engine, 1 mile away can do a lot to a person with nobody noticing, that can go from inducing a certain state of mind all the way to making sick or, depending on "subject's" health, even worse.

There's no question if it should be banned provided the lawmakers acknowledge its existence and usage first and provide legal means to the law enforcement agencies to detect it.
