-
And what has happened is they're using this bodily cue of
-
their heartbeat to infer that that's who they find more attractive.
-
Now, here is the twist.
-
They're not actually listening to their heartbeat.
-
They're listening to a tape recording of a heartbeat.
-
And the experimenter is back there with the speed knob
-
And at random intervals he just speeds up the tape of their heart
-
and then slows it down.
-
And it doesn't matter which slide
-
He speeds up the tape of the heartbeat on,
-
That's the one the subject is more likely to think is
-
the person of their dreams, the person they're attracted to.
