"We did Brain Music," Galloway says. Brain Music? "We had these
brain-monitoring devices that people strapped onto their heads here and
in Germany," he continues. "It monitored brain wave activity, plus eye
movement. We took the different beta and alpha waves and assigned different
tones to them. It was very late at night in Germany, so our metabolisms
were different and we were in different mental states, so we didn't often
get into the same mental state." "But you could kind of listen to it,"
says Rabinowitz. "They had drunk a lot of beer by that time," adds Galloway.
