Obviously, I disagree. =)
Twenty (never mind fifty) years ago, we [apparently] didn't need:
subwoofers at +10dB, and over-emphasized bass+drum hits, in order to "feel
the music";
a visual cut every 4-5 seconds in a movie in order to stay focussed on the
film;
high levels of compression and limiting in order to feel like an audio
recording was "full";
etc. etc. etc.
These -- and other similar trends -- are a clear rebuke to your
"understimulation" hypothesis.
Of course, if you were referring to *mental* stimulation (i.e., higher than the
limbic brain), I agree with you 100%. But I'm talking about sensory stimulation
-- and the trend is clearly towards overstimulation.
Cheers,
Kieren.
