Caught the first half of this, this morning.

It's very, very interesting especially regarding with regards to what a listener expects in a piece, just notice where complexity ranks in the graph they use, but it really made me smile when a musicologist suggests bass reminds us of large things, like dinosaurs roaming dangerously. Treblists, beware, we are the sound of fear!

Allegedly 3Hz at massive levels will do the trick. That's well into infra-sound, though, and good luck finding any kind of system that can reproduce it at all, let alone at the requisite level !
