Holophonic Sound Makes People Happy

It's true, Holophonic Sound makes people happy.

What? - you don't know what holophonic sound is? It's basically another unique look into the human brain in first person (next to mechanical automatic watches). Well, basically, it's a hologram of sound which actually makes more sense then a hologram, in some ways. It is a recording that uses an inaudible sound reference to create an interference which somehow tricks the brain into hearing spacial sound references - it gets more complicated but I can't remember exactly how it works - I once found a great article about it which really explained how and why it worked but it seems to have been lost in the interweb - if you try, you may find one that is somewhat intelligible. This all brings me to an interesting factoid about how we orient ourselves in a three dimensional environ - mostly your eyes right - NO it's mostly your ears - just listen to a holophonic recording and experience the 3d yourself.
