i don't always listen to techno but when i do i mostly listen to a group called "xyla" something about their music gives me a feeling i can only describe as being high. while i'm listening i'm not able to multitask as good and i have a natural talent for multitasking. i also get other feelings i can't describe either. when i'm not listening to "xyla" i can focus and think more clearly.
i was wondering if this experience is common or normal.

sometimes i also get very tired after listening to "xyla" after thirty minutes or so and need to rest.
Yes! The Russian scientist Pavlof found certain lights and sounds can actually make someone think or do things they wouldn't normally do.Acid Rock & Heavy metal are examples.Some sounds in Charismatic/pentecostal music has been known to effect people in that way.Several found groups like Phil Keggy's music makes them high.He is an old friend from Ithaca & it effected myself & friends that way.Phil is a cool person & a super fantastic guitar player but something about his(& others) music made me & several friends feel that way.A Christian group in Va in the 70's found certain music while causing a "high" also triggered lust when nothing was sexual in that assembly so they repeated it and came up with the same results.I am not aware of more studies done in that area.
I'm new at computers but he was famous enough.Our evil gvt has been experimenting using his findings,but I don't think his studies were intended for evil.There were many writings about his work.Can't remember the name of my psych textbook , but many should have articles on his studies,and if can't find,major universities should be able to steer you in the right direction.Many of the articles will be found under psychology studies.Probably enough to take a year bto read all of them.some only give reference as to the nature of his work but others go into the details that you want.If all efforts fail, try asking psych profs at Liberty University,Lynchburg,Va or Cornell Univ Psych Dept in Ithaca,NY (famous Ivy League School) I was at Industrial & Labor Relations Sch Non Credit as working there allowed me to sit in & free access to the printed material as I was prod control dispatcher for a Borg Warner Chain co temp out of work & expected to stay in that field but never did.Public Libraries should perhaps be the first place to look & they prob have web sites.
can i find "Pavlof's" research online? like youtube. or something i could read on this subject?
