What is sometimes the result of losing track of everything when you're doing music?
- you have a very powerful experience
- you become weightless
- it drops your heart rate
- you create atmospheric and synthetic sounds
Why did Radox get involved in the project?
- they wanted to see the effects of music on the brain
- they wanted to drop someone's heart rate in terms of a tempo
- they wanted to improve the end results with empirical testing
- they wanted to commit physiological responses to a relaxing track
How did Radox use surveys in their research?
- they used surveys to bring the huge number of songs down to 15 before comparing these 15 against "Weightless" in the lab
- they used surveys to ask people how well they liked "Weightless" in the lab
- they used surveys to give people biofeedback with a whole range of wires and sensors in the lab
- they used surveys to commit physiological responses to a massage track
How did Radox use Biofeedback in their research?
- they compared the physiological responses in people of "Weightless" against the most relaxing 15 tracks that their survey produced
- they gave a massage to a small group of 15 people to actually feedback from their bodies exactly how relaxed they were
- they compared the physiological responses in participants who listened to "Weightless" against the responses in participants who received a massage
- they used it in a lab, but they didn't say exactly how
How are the sustained tones and random chimes that go through the piece therapeutic?
- they enable the listener to get out of the way
- they weave it all together into a lovely piece
- they help improve health and well-being
- they help the listener to really relax at a very deep level
