What science whould deal with the theory that sounds,noises,and music can be addictive?
babyfacenc2005 asked:
I have read somewhere that the sounds associated with slot machines create addictive behavior. I recently latched on to a rather meaningless sound clip, ALL YOUR BASE http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/11940 ,which led me to a night-long fascination in researching everything associated with it. I realized it had stuck in my head, and felt it was making my heart beat faster when I heard the music. It's primal, like the reaction some people have with trance music. Looking at different societies,and back in history, I think there's other music, or sounds that are addictive or reactionary,sometimes even as part of a people's culture. My question is, what is the study of this? I know experiments have been done with subliminal advertising, and I reason that slot machine makers,and video game mfg. consciously manipulate music or sounds to be addictive. I haven't had much luck researching this. Any help would be appreciated, and have a great day!

Psychology comes to mind. Aesthetics can also be another possibility. Mathematics as well believe it or not; there is something “logical” about certain sounds or combinations of sounds that stimulate the brain.
I can understand your fascination with it. It truly is remarkable. Sorry I couldn’t give you a more in depth answer, your question is complex.
Good luck in your search
