The reason was to discover if the interacting wavelets of stimulation would increase the color experience.  The idea was suggested by the Correlational Opponent Processing model at http://turn.to/ai The experience created in the student interesting outcomes.  The ability to see colors was significantly reduced when listening to music.  The colors were grayish and mild.  The student reported a rather strong feeling of well being and mild pleasure.
