institution sat on the platform near the
artist, and with his sensory nerves alert
he followed the movement of the selec.
tions which were played. Although the
subject Of the experiment is totally
deaf, he distinctly heard the music
and was thrilled by il to a degree ex-
ceading that of a person with all fac
ulties. The young man. whose name Isl
Jean Paul Gruet, gave this impression
of the occurrence: The main emotion
| felt from the floor and again in the
unsupported, lighter parts of the body,
such as the arms and finger tips. The
muscles in the upper part of the lower
leg also vibrated. The lower tones of the
piano, being heavy ON the sound waves
are strongest felt and when loudly or
quickly played may be experienced in
wardly. causing an exciting sensation.
Such feeling seems to thrill one and
cause a quickening of the circulation.
He likens these tones to a moderate
electrical charge affecting every part
of the body and causing a swelling sem
sation to be felt in the ears |
