"Monkeys love Metallica"

by Rob Bryanton, Imagining the Tenth Dimension

Highlights: "music, like the the other patterns we've just looked at, connects in ways that go beyond the limits of our 4D spacetime"
"In the study, 14 cotton-top tamarins were played clips of music while the researchers noted any changes in behavior. Pieces included Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, a soft piano piece from The Fragile by Nine Inch Nails, Metallica's Of Wolf and Man and Tool's The Grudge... According to the Guardian article, the monkeys didn't exhibit any clear response to these piece of music one way or another, except for the Metallica song,which had the unexpected effect of calming them down... the New York Times article claims the scientists saw a similar soothing effect on the monkeys with the Tool song."
